Cotebrook Drive, Upton, CH2

Wonderfully maintained, presented and extended three-bedroom link-semi-detached home, occupying a sought-after address within the long-established and highly desirable Chester suburb of Upton.

Having been a much-loved family home for our clients over the past couple of decades, this impressive property now presents a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to take the baton and create their own lasting memories. Immaculately presented throughout, the home has clearly benefited from a great deal of care and attention over the years, with a wealth of improvements and enhancements adding to its appeal. Notable recent works include a replacement roof in 2025, incorporating new battens, felt and Marley roof tiles, together with an expansive printed concrete driveway providing excellent off-road parking.

Offering well-proportioned and versatile accommodation, the property has been thoughtfully extended to create a home that caters beautifully to modern family life. The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall, downstairs WC, separate dining room, spacious living room, generous conservatory and an extended kitchen, complemented by a practical laundry room and attached garage. To the first floor are three bedrooms and a family bathroom, whilst externally, the beautifully landscaped south-facing rear garden provides an exceptional space in which to relax, entertain and enjoy the outdoors, complete with a summer house that has served our clients wonderfully as a home office and covered outdoor space.

Approached via the impressive printed concrete driveway, the property immediately makes a positive first impression. Providing ample off-road parking, the driveway is complemented by a curved, raised border offering seasonal colour and established planting. A covered open porch shelters the entrance door, whilst the driveway continues to the attached garage, which benefits from an up-and-over door.

A separate uPVC double-glazed door opens into the internal passage, providing a particularly useful space for hanging coats and storing muddy boots following a walk, with further access into the garage and the main accommodation.

Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hall features attractive wood-block flooring, a turned staircase with spindled balustrade rising to the first-floor accommodation, and a useful understairs storage cupboard. A conveniently positioned downstairs WC/cloakroom adds further practicality, whilst a door leads through to the dining room.

Enjoying an abundance of natural light, the dining room benefits from sliding patio doors opening directly onto the south-facing rear garden, creating a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. There is ample room for a family dining table, making this an ideal setting for everyday meals and entertaining alike, whilst an opening leads through to the spacious living room.

The living room is a particularly appealing space, offering generous proportions and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. An attractive fireplace with an inset living gas-flame fire provides a natural focal point, whilst the cleverly extended chimney breast incorporates an enclosed, shelved media area, ideal for concealing electrical equipment and unsightly cables. The room offers plenty of flexibility for furniture arrangements and provides a comfortable setting in which to unwind with family and friends.

Leading from the living room, the conservatory represents a further valuable extension to the accommodation. A generous, light-filled space beneath a glazed roof, it provides lovely views across the garden and benefits from a door opening directly outside. Whether used as an additional sitting area, a place to enjoy a morning coffee or somewhere to relax whilst overlooking the garden, this is a versatile addition that brings the outdoors into the home.

The kitchen is an extension also, creating a well-equipped and practical space, fitted with an extensive range of quality wooden-fronted units, drawers and complementary fittings, together with roll-top work surfaces. An inset one-and-a-half-bowl sink and drainer is incorporated within the worktop, whilst space is provided for a freestanding fridge-freezer. A striking Belling range-style cooker, featuring five gas burners, twin ovens and a separate grill/oven, is complemented by an extractor hood above. The overall arrangement offers a good balance of storage and preparation space, making this a functional kitchen well suited to busy family life.

A door leads from the kitchen into the internal passage, from which access is available to the laundry room, created in 2021. This is a particularly useful addition, providing further storage units, a sink facility and plumbing connections and space for appliances, helping to keep laundry and household tasks neatly separated from the main living areas.

Completing the ground-floor accommodation is the attached garage, which can also be accessed from the laundry room via a glazed sliding door. Offering power, lighting and a water connection, together with a folding up-and-over door providing access from the driveway, it provides excellent scope for storage, hobbies and the practicalities of everyday life.

To the first floor, the landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, whilst the third bedroom has been thoughtfully adapted to incorporate a built-in wardrobe and fitted study desk. This clever arrangement maximises the available floor space and provides a dedicated area for homeworking or study, whilst still allowing the room to accommodate a double bed if desired. The principal bedroom is further enhanced by a central ceiling light and fan unit.

The bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, fitted with a white three-piece suite comprising a curved panelled shower bath with shower over and accompanying screen, a low-level WC and a pedestal wash hand basin. The walls are tiled around the sanitary ware, complemented by decorative mosaic border tiling.

From the landing, a drop-down ladder provides access to the boarded and well insulated loft, where useful storage space is available alongside the gas combination central heating boiler.

Outside, the south-facing rear garden is a real highlight of the property. Beautifully landscaped and lovingly maintained, it has been thoughtfully arranged to provide an appealing outdoor environment for both adults and children to enjoy. Immediately adjoining the house is a porcelain-tiled patio, offering an attractive space for outdoor dining and entertaining, which leads through to a wood effect resin decked seating area.

Beyond, stepping stones guide you through the lawned section of garden, where a mature willow tree provides an attractive focal point. Established shrubbery and planted borders add colour, texture and a sense of maturity, creating a garden that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. At the foot of the garden, a 10’ x 8’ timber workshop and garden shed with worktop, cupboard and drawer units provides excellent additional storage and benefits from lighting and power supply.

A particularly appealing feature is the timber-framed, glazed summer house, which has served our clients as a home office and offers exciting potential for a variety of uses, whether as a dedicated workspace, hobby room or simply a peaceful retreat overlooking the garden.

The property is connected to all mains services, benefits from gas-fired central heating and uPVC double glazing and cavity wall insulation; Freehold.

In summary, this is a home that has clearly been cherished, with its generous accommodation, thoughtful extensions, extensive improvements and superb south-facing garden combining to create a very appealing proposition. Set within one of Chester's most established and desirable residential areas, the property offers an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a well-cared-for family home with plenty to enjoy from day one.

An early viewing is strongly encouraged to fully appreciate the quality, care and versatility this wonderful home has to offer.
