Description

Greenlawn is a stylish and deceptively spacious three double bedroom detached home, beautifully finished throughout and set on a generous plot in a quiet, semi-rural position on the edge of Chester. From the moment you arrive, the electric gated driveway and smart frontage set the tone, and inside the home delivers the kind of bright, sociable, move straight into living that is increasingly hard to find.

A covered porch leads into a wide and welcoming entrance hall, giving the ground floor an immediate sense of space and an easy flow between the rooms.

To one side sits a separate living room, a comfortable and versatile space centred on a log burning stove. It works equally well as a cosy snug through the winter months or a quieter retreat away from the main hub of the house.

That hub is the open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, and it is the real heart of the home. A large central island provides the natural gathering point, whether that is morning coffee, homework at the counter or drinks with friends. The kitchen is fitted with a full range of integrated appliances and finished to a high standard, and the whole space is filled with natural light through wide French doors that open straight onto the pergola covered decking. It has been designed for real family life and for entertaining in equal measure, with the inside and outside flowing seamlessly into one another. A useful downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the home offers three genuine double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys its own well-appointed four piece ensuite, while a further stylish three piece family bathroom serves the remaining two rooms. Each bedroom is comfortably proportioned and light-filled, making the first floor a restful and practical space for a growing family.

Outside

The rear garden is one of Greenlawn's standout features and has been thoughtfully arranged for outdoor living. A generous decked area sits directly off the kitchen, ideal for dining outside and summer entertaining, and steps down to a patio and a healthy, established lawn. A BBQ hut adds a real point of difference and extends the garden's use well beyond the warmer months.

Beyond the garden lies a run of versatile outbuildings that give this home a genuine edge. There is a dedicated home office, a separate entertainment room and a large store, offering flexible space that can adapt around your needs, whether that is working from home in peace, a gym or games room, a hobby space, or simply generous, secure storage.

To the front, a wide driveway behind an electric gate provides secure, gated off-road parking for several vehicles, adding both convenience and kerb appeal. Please note the hot tub is not included in the sale.

Location

Greenlawn enjoys a sought-after semi-rural setting on the fringe of Chester, striking the balance so many buyers are looking for. You get the peace, space and greenery of a countryside position, yet the city centre, strong road links and everyday amenities all remain within easy reach. It suits families and professionals alike, offering calm and space at home without sacrificing quick access to work, schools, shops and transport. Backford remains a consistently popular choice, and homes of this size and quality here tend to be in demand.
