Chester, Cheshire

An exceptional riverside residence, finished to an impeccable standard, boasting private mooring rights and ideally positioned just a short stroll from the vibrant heart of the City.


The Property
This rare riverside period home, one of just three charming mews houses dating back to circa 1840, is set in a highly sought-after location. The property is Grade II Listed, celebrating its architectural merits including open fireplaces, decorative ceiling roses, intricate plaster cove ceilings, dado rails and elegant sash windows.

Ground floor
A heavy four-panel door with over-light opens into an outer reception hall, leading through a beautiful leaded stained glass inner door into a welcoming reception hall with oak plank flooring and dado rails.
To the front, overlooking the river, is a charming sitting room featuring an open fireplace set within a period surround and wide original exposed floorboards. This flows into a spacious dining room, complete with a second period fireplace and fitted pitch-pine cupboards in one of the recesses.
An enclosed staircase leads down to a useful, single chamber, cellar providing storage and alternative uses.
To the rear of the house lies the heart of the home; a beautifully extended and refurbished kitchen with an adjoining sitting area. Renovated to an exceptional standard in 2020, the kitchen features bespoke Shaker-style cabinetry topped with elegant quartz worktops, a practical breakfast bar, and high-quality Bosch appliances. The adjoining sitting area is full of character, with an exposed brick wall, a roof lantern that floods the space with natural light, and French doors that open into a charming courtyard garden.

First floor
On the first floor, to the front of the house, is an elegant sitting room (also suitable as a fourth bedroom) featuring an open fireplace with a marble surround and slate hearth. This beautifully proportioned room boasts twin sash windows with river views, a decorative ceiling rose, ornate plaster coved ceilings, and polished exposed floorboards. To the rear is a lovely double bedroom and a fully refitted, luxurious shower room, complete with a walk-in shower, classic pedestal basin, traditional high-level cistern WC, and limestone and porcelain tiling throughout.

Second floor
The second floor hosts the impressive principal bedroom, offering the finest river views in the house, a second double bedroom and a luxurious family bathroom, styled to match the exquisite finish of the shower room but enhanced with the addition of a freestanding roll-top bath.
