A substantially extended 19th century five bedroom, three bathroom detached house, with inherent modernisation potential, indoor swimming pool, south west facing rear garden, double entrance driveway, and a popular as well as convenient location within one and a half miles of the Chester city centre.

Houses of this size and with inherent potential as well as a sought-after location, are rare entrance to the market, and this particular property is no exception. Situated in the highly regarded Boughton area, the house has excellent access to the highly regarded Bishops Blue Coat Secondary School, as well as various local shopping facilities, and of course the historic Roman city of Chester with all of its attendant amenities and facilities. First class connections to the wider north west road communications network can be accessed via the nearby Boughton Heath Interchange, and fast and efficient rail services to London and other significant parts of the country can be made use of from the Chester general railway station.

Having the advantage of a significant internal floor area, this building has various potential uses, the most obvious of which would seem to be as an extensive private dwelling. The building itself has an oil fired central heating system, connections to mains electricity, mains water, and mains drainage, and the following accommodation which is described in detail below.
