Queensway, Chester, CH2

A particularly attractive bay-fronted and skilfully extended three-bedroom semi-detached home located within the highly popular Chester suburb of Newton. Combining attractive period character with stylish contemporary living, this much-improved home provides notably generous and flexible accommodation, with the wrap-around ground floor extension creating a superb open-plan Living Dining Kitchen that is sure to prove a major draw for modern family life.

The property is approached via a private driveway, laid to slate chippings and providing comfortable off-road parking for two cars, enclosed by low walling and fencing and complemented by a painted timber-edged border with established shrubbery. A tiled canopy porch, with recessed downlighting, provides a welcoming approach to the composite double-glazed entrance door. Gated access to the side leads via a pathway to the rear garden.

On entering, the welcoming Entrance Hallway immediately sets the tone, retaining period character with attractive wood block parquet flooring and a traditional plate shelf. There is a light and inviting feel, with the staircase rising to the first floor and a useful understairs cupboard providing additional storage.

The Living Room is both generous and well proportioned, with an attractive bay window overlooking the front and ample space for a good range of furniture. A raised and recessed fire unit with timber mantel over provides an appealing focal point, whilst shelved recesses add further character and practicality.

An Inner Hallway leads through the extended ground floor accommodation and provides access to a versatile Play Room, which could equally lend itself to use as a Home Office, study or additional reception space to suit individual requirements. A downstairs WC provides excellent convenience, whilst the Cloaks/Utility Room is a particularly useful addition, with plumbing for a washing machine, housing the gas combination central heating boiler and benefiting from side door access to outside. This is an ideal practical space for keeping muddy paw prints, outdoor clothing and football boots for example, away from the main living areas.

Without doubt, one of the outstanding features of the home is the impressive open-plan Living Dining Kitchen, providing the epitome of modern family living and a superb social environment for both everyday life and entertaining. The Kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of sleek white gloss, handleless wall, base and drawer units, complemented by polished stone square-edged work surfaces and matching upstands. There is a 1½-bowl stainless steel sink with swan-neck mixer tap, inset five-ring gas hob with extractor over, integrated double tower-style electric oven and grill, integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher.

The Kitchen flows seamlessly into the adjoining Living Dining Space, creating a superb sense of openness and connection throughout. Bi-folding doors provide a wonderful link to the rear garden, allowing the outside to become an extension of the living space during the warmer months. A vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of volume, with recessed ceiling lighting and two skylight windows allowing natural light to flood the room. This is undoubtedly a space designed with modern family life and entertaining very much in mind.

To the first floor, the Landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family Bathroom. The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned room and benefits from a useful run of fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage. The remaining bedrooms offer further flexible accommodation for children, guests or home-working requirements.

The Bathroom is fitted with a three-piece white suite comprising a bath with shower over, WC and pedestal wash hand basin, complemented by fully tiled walls and flooring.

Externally, the rear garden represents another notable feature of the property. A generous composite decked seating terrace provides an excellent area for relaxing, outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps leading down to the lawned garden beyond. Slate chippings and barked edging create definition, together with a timber-edged border planted with established shrubbery. The garden is enclosed by timber fencing, creating a good degree of privacy, and there is also a useful Garden Store with side door access, providing excellent additional storage.

Newton is a popular and well-established Chester suburb, particularly appealing to families given its selection of local schooling at both primary and secondary level. The property is also conveniently positioned for a good range of everyday amenities, whilst neighbouring Upton and, in particular, Hoole are both within easy reach, offering an excellent choice of independent shops, cafés, bars and other facilities. Regular bus services provide convenient access towards Chester city centre, whilst the M53/M56 motorway network is also readily accessible, providing excellent links towards Liverpool, Manchester, North Wales and the wider national motorway network.

The property is connected to all mains services and benefits from uPVC double glazing and gas central heating. The property is offered for sale on a Freehold basis.

In all, this is a smashing home offering a superb blend of period charm, contemporary style and genuinely flexible family accommodation. The skilfully executed extension, impressive open-plan Living Dining Kitchen and attractive rear garden combine to create a home with considerable appeal, all within one of Chester's most sought-after residential locations. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the accommodation and lifestyle opportunity on offer.
