Description
Dating from approximately 1861, Goldsmith House is a handsome period building which was converted into apartments in 1986. The current owners purchased direct from the developer and over the years have carried out significant improvements to the property including replacement double glazing, adding underfloor heating, replacement kitchen and bathrooms and adding lots of built-in storage. The apartment has wonderful light with large windows and high ceilings and the scale and balance of each room is really impressive. The apartment is beautifully decorated in a really stylish colour palette and the entire property has been incredibly well maintained. The apartment has built-in ceiling speakers throughout offering four separate playing zones, run from a central Marantz system. The owners worked with an interior designer to create a home that is stylish but functional and importantly for them, very easy to lock up and leave.
Entry into the main building is via a video camera remote unlocking system making the building particularly secure.
There is an entrance hall with storage cupboards and the reception rooms are centred around a very spacious reception hallway off which is a cloakroom/wc to one end and to the other end of the reception hall the owners have created a really clever bar area with wine cooler and storage cabinets. When entertaining this area is perfectly placed to greet guests with a welcoming drink and canapé before leading through to the drawing room. The elegant drawing room is bright and airy with views towards the front of the building. The room has very attractive decorative coving and although there is underfloor heating throughout there is a stylish pebble effect living flame electric fire in this room.
The kitchen/dining room is very spacious and bright and the perfect open- plan space in which to entertain. The high quality Poliform Italian kitchen has been incredibly well thought out with an excellent range of wall and base units, storage drawers, breakfast island with display shelving, a range of Miele integrated appliances to include fridge/freezer, double oven (one is an oven/microwave), dishwasher, extractor fan, washing machine and tumble dryer. The dining area has a large dining table and chairs and matching credenza.
The guest bedroom with en suite shower room has a good range of built-furniture to include wardrobes, bedside tables and vanity unit.
The family/media room and office is a really fabulous space ideal for work and play. With an extensive range of built-in book shelves, display cabinets and desk space this is a fantastic home office but due to the scale of the room it is an excellent entertaining space. All velux windows have fitted blackout blinds. Subject to relevant permissions this space could be converted to provide a further bedroom and en suite.
The principal bedroom is also on the second floor and again has superb built-in storage. The en suite has a corner bath, separate shower, back lit mirror, inset shelving and further storage. All sanitary ware is Villeroy & Boch.
The property has the benefit of a single garage.
Location
Goldsmith House occupies a prime position in one of the most sought-after areas of the city. Good quality housing and a strong local community make it a highly desirable place to live. The city is approximately 0.5 miles and there is an excellent shopping centre in nearby Westminster Park with a fishmonger, butcher, green grocers, pharmacy, post office and supermarket. There is also an excellent deli/coffee shop which opens for breakfast and lunch during the week and for dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings and for brunch on Sunday mornings.
A key attraction of Chester is the quality of education. There are notable independent day schools including King's and Queen's School, Abbey Gate College and The Firs which are all within easy reach. Belgrave Primary School in Westminster Park is rated Good by Ofsted.
Chester has direct access to the motorway network, linking to Manchester, Liverpool and their airports and to the North Wales coast. It also offers a direct and regular rail service to London Euston (about 2 hours).
There is a thriving restaurant and café culture in Chester and other leisure amenities include a picturesque golf course at Curzon Park and tennis at the Chester Lawn Tennis Club. Nearby Westminster Park offers a range of leisure activities including outdoor gym, bowling green, large childrens playground, brand new mini golf and cafe plus a 9 hole par 3 golf course.
