House For Rent £4,000
A superb period townhouse in a magnificent, elevated position overlooking the River Dee and Chester racecourse.
Description
Abbeygate House is a handsome red brick period home, originally built for the Brown family, of department store fame, and dates from 1908.
The versatile and naturally light accommodation (totalling more than 4,000 sq ft) is arranged over four floors and has many original features including leaded glazing and original fireplaces.
The current owners have recently carried out a comprehensive scheme of refurbishment and the result is a beautifully presented family home.
The property is approached from Curzon Park North via an electric gated entrance and driveway leading to the garage and an additional parking area in front of the main entrance.
The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming entrance hall with feature fireplace and onto a reception hall with generous cloakroom. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is located at the heart of the home and offers a range of bespoke wall and base units including a large split-level central island, a four-oven Aga, modern integrated appliances including a wine chiller and a spacious neighbouring fitted utility/pantry together with a generous sitting room with feature fireplace.
There is a step down from the kitchen to the open dining room with large sky lantern opening and bespoke fitted bar, access to the rear garden and integral garage-style storage. The lower ground floor is currently configured as a laundry room with fitted units and a Belfast sink.
On the first floor there is a spacious principal bedroom with modern en suite bathroom and a large fitted dressing room (also with en suite facility), suitable for use as an additional bedroom if required.
The second floor houses three remaining double bedrooms, (two of which have feature fireplaces and en suite shower rooms), a well-proportioned second dressing room/nursery, suitable for use as a further bedroom if required, and a contemporary family bathroom.
A second covered staircase rises from a small lobby with cloakroom off the dining room to a self-contained dual aspect double bedroom/games room/study with feature exposed brick wall and luxury vinyl flooring. Numerous skylights flood the area with natural light.
The formal garden extends to the rear of the property, and includes a raised paved terrace with fantastic views over the River Dee and Chester racecourse. Steps lead down to a second paved terrace and pathway to the lawn beyond, flanked by beautiful shrub borders and mature trees.
Location
The property is situated on one of Chester's most exclusive residential streets and occupies a spectacular position, with wonderful views over the River Dee, the racecourse, Grosvenor Bridge and the city skyline. Chester is a thriving centre for business, tourism, shopping, culture and the arts. There are a number of good schools, including The King's School and Queen's, both of which are within easy reach of the property. The area is well served by the motorway network (M53, M56 and M6) with links to Liverpool and Manchester, both having airports. The mainline railway station provides direct services to London Euston (about 2 hours). There are a wide range of leisure facilities nearby, including Chester Golf Club only 800 yards away.
