Description
Nestled in the highly sought-after area of Upton-by-Chester, this charming 1930s semi-detached home offers a fabulous opportunity to acquire a property with outstanding potential in one of Chester's most popular locations.
Perfectly positioned close to the renowned Chester Zoo and within the catchment area for revered primary and secondary schools, the property stands on a good-sized plot, providing ample scope for extension and personalisation (subject to necessary planning consents/permissions).
Upon approach, you'll notice the pillared porch leading into a welcoming hallway where period features, including elegant picture rails, hint at the property's inherent character. The spindled staircase rises to the first floor, with a convenient WC tucked neatly beneath.
To the front lies the living room, complete with bay window and a charming open fireplace with surround creating a natural focal point.
The rear of the property has been thoughtfully reconfigured to create a contemporary open-plan arrangement, combining the original kitchen and dining spaces. This sociable area now features colourful units complemented by granite worksurfaces, a central dining island with seating, and a practical laundry area. French doors open directly onto the south-facing garden, perfect for summer entertaining.
Upstairs, the spindled balustrade continues to add character to the landing, which provides access to three bedrooms – two doubles and a single room to the front, ideal for use as a home office if needed. The family bathroom features a white three-piece suite beneath a vaulted ceiling.
A particularly interesting feature is the converted loft space, accessed via a staircase from the main bedroom and currently utilised as a wardrobe/storage area, complete with skylight window.
Outside, a timber-gated gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking, while the spacious garage benefits from an inspection pit – a rare find sure to appeal to motoring enthusiasts. The south-facing rear garden offers tremendous scope, featuring an expansive seating area, two practical outbuildings, and a sweeping lawn. Beyond lies an undeveloped section of garden – a blank canvas awaiting your creative vision.
This opportunity provides the perfect balance of period charm and modern functionality, standing ready for its new owners to enhance and expand to create their dream family home.
