Description

Welcome to Holly Cottage, a charming three-bedroom detached cottage offering a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home within a sought-after semi-rural setting, just a few miles from the historic city of Chester.

Bursting with original features, warmth and untapped potential, Holly Cottage is a home full of character and individuality. Mature trees and established gardens create a wonderful sense of privacy, while the generous plot provides an increasingly rare combination of space, seclusion and convenience.

The property occupies an attractive position on the edge of Guilden Sutton, surrounded by countryside yet remaining exceptionally convenient for Chester and the surrounding areas. This balance of semi-rural living and accessibility is one of the property's strongest features.

The accommodation itself is filled with warmth and character and offers considerable scope for a purchaser to modernise and create a home to their own taste. The ground floor includes a traditional layout with living room, dining room, snug and kitchen, providing a versatile arrangement of reception and family spaces.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom, with the property offering an exciting opportunity for improvement and modernisation throughout.

Externally, Holly Cottage really comes into its own. Generous private gardens extend around the property, providing an excellent degree of privacy and a particularly attractive setting. There is also a substantial private parking area, offering valuable outside space and further potential for the future.

For purchasers looking beyond the existing accommodation, the size of the plot may also offer exciting possibilities for extension, reconfiguration or further development, subject entirely to the necessary planning permissions and consents. This should be regarded as potential rather than an established planning position.

Holly Cottage represents a particularly appealing opportunity for buyers looking for a home they can truly make their own. Whether the intention is to sympathetically modernise the existing cottage, explore the potential to extend, or simply enjoy the generous gardens and peaceful surroundings, there is considerable scope to create something very special.

A rare combination of character, generous grounds and semi-rural tranquillity, all within easy reach of Chester. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting, space and potential this unique home has to offer.

One thing I would not carry across literally from the handwritten version is the statement about “building additional homes on the plot.” For Rightmove, unless you have planning permission or documented planning advice, the safer and more professional wording is “potential for extension or further development, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.” That still sells the opportunity strongly without presenting development potential as established fact.

Chester, a picturesque city on the River Dee, is steeped in history. The Roman city walls are a draw for tourists from all over the world.

The 700-year-old two tired shopping galleries, The Rows, date back to the medieval era. Home to outstanding eateries and drinking establishments, they are a testament to the heritage of the area whilst also showing the diversity of the new breed of traders in the city.

Famous for being the home of Chester Racecourse, or the Roodee, as it is also known. It is recognised by the Guinness World Records as the oldest course with races dating back to the 16th century.

This superb restaurant serves delicious food, coupled with the floor to ceiling windows, which overlook the racecourse, creates a stunning backdrop for any special occasion.

Sharing the border with Wales, Chester is conveniently located to key travel routes and has outstanding transport links. A 10 minute drive to the north takes you to Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet and a further 20 minute drive north will take you to Liverpool via The Birkenhead or Wallasey Tunnel.
