The Chimneys, Saughall Road

Welcome to The Chimneys. This three-bedroom former farm cottage, built in 1885, is located just 1.1 miles from Chester's city centre.

This home sits within roughly an acre, facing onto existing farmland fields. The Chimneys was historically part of a dairy farm and originally consisted of two separate cottages that have since been combined into one larger property. The current owners have lived in and enjoyed the property for over 30 years.

The property is accessed off Saughall Road via a U-shaped cobbled effect driveway and the house has three entrances. There are two entrance porches to the east and west of the property, and a rear entry door beside the main garage.

From left to right, the first porch leads into the living room, which features the original Victorian fireplace with a remote-controlled gas fire inside. Next is the kitchen, with farmhouse-style handmade pine cupboards and tiled work surfaces. Two doorways lead to a utility room on the left and a study on the right. At the rear of the ground floor is an additional living room with a feature fireplace, followed by the dining room and a downstairs toilet with wash basin. Each room boasts exposed timber ceiling beams, adding character and creating a true farmhouse feel. Throughout the house there are also
handmade ledge and brace farmhouse doors.

Ascending the stairs, you arrive at the large, corridor
style landing with Velux windows above, bringing in plenty of natural light. The master bedroom, located at the rear, is a spacious double bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes, and views over the cottage garden. Two further bedrooms are similar in size, both featuring cast iron fireplaces. A large four-piece family bathroom serves the three bedrooms, complete with a roll-top bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, and sink.

The property includes a large, attached garage with power and lighting, as well as a separate large, wooded outbuilding that can be used for storage or as a workshop. The main garden area is southeast facing, with mature trees and borders. There are several seating areas to enjoy, including a wildlife garden. At the bottom of the garden is a summer house that captures the evening sun.

Located within easy walking distance of Chester's city centre, this fantastic location is well positioned on a bus route, with easy access to road networks and a stone's throw away from the Greyhound retail park. The current owners commissioned a set of architects drawings for a conversion/extension of the property which will be included in the sale.
