About this property
A superb Grade II listed, Georgian mid-terrace property, set beside the River Dee and commanding some of the best views in Chester. Dating back to 1827, this wonderfully-presented townhouse is ideal for those wishing to be close to the hustle and bustle of this beautiful city, yet have the feeling of open countryside with river views and panoramas across the beautiful Chester Meadows. Set over three floors, this stunning cottage has been finished to exacting standards to provide a comfortable retreat, with a modern fitted kitchen, two stylish living rooms and three inviting bedrooms, making it ideal for families and groups of friends. Outside, the terraced gardens cascade down to the riverside, providing the perfect place to while away a quiet afternoon or evening, reading a book or sharing a bottle of wine. Take a short stroll into Chester along the riverbank to experience a fantastic range of renowned eateries, entertainment venues and of course, world-famous shopping on the Tudor Rows. Within five minutes walk you can be roaming the ancient city walls or discovering the largest Roman amphitheatre in Britain, or why not take a short drive to spend the day at Chester Zoo? This superb, historic city is also a great base from which to explore North Wales, the North West and the Peak District, all within easy reach and well worth a visit.
Chester has quite rightly been described as 'the jewel of the North-West of England'. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the city is that within a very small area there is evidence of every period of history - from the old walls and amphitheatre of Roman times, through medieval churches, Elizabethan timber-framed town houses and Georgian terraces, to Victorian restorations and 21st century architecture. The city has much to offer.

It has lovely open views over the River Dee and beyond. The location was quiet but close to the Centre and easy to walk around. A perfect place to relax after exploring with good outdoor space.

Just a few things that we think yiu should be aware of. The left hand side of the toaster doesnât work And the freezer looks like it needs defrosting as is leaking and looks like it has for some time as the kitchen end panel is water damaged. This did not impact our stay it is more of a courtesy notification so as you can act on these issues. Thankyou for letting us use your home and will hopefully be up in Chester again very soon. Regards Ken
