Out & About In Hoole And Chester City Centre - Situated just over 1 mile east of the City centre, the property is situated close to the popular Hoole High Street shopping area which has some excellent independent shops including a delicatessen, fishmonger, butcher, greengrocer, florists, boutiques, gift shops, coffee shops and some superb restaurants and bars including the award-winning Sticky Walnut. There is also a bank, a pharmacy, post office and a supermarket. The property is also within walking distance of Alexandra Park.

Chester city centre is regarded as one of the major shopping centres of the Northwest with many of the major chains represented. But it is also steeped in history, dominated by one of the best-preserved walled cities in Britain. The main city centre areas are represented by the main 'Gates' of Eastgate, Foregate, Watergate, Northgate, Bridgegate and Newgate.

Chester boast's the oldest racecourse and the largest Roman Amphitheatre in Britain, plus a 1000-year-old Cathedral with Europe's finest example of medieval carvings - and of course the one and only 700-year-old Rows galleries where shopping is a double delight.

Hoole is convenient for direct access to the national motorway network via the M53, providing links to Manchester, Liverpool, and North Wales.

The mainline railway station is about 0.8 miles from which there is a direct service to London Euston (about 2 hours). The Cathedral city of Chester is one of the North West's leading commercial and cultural centres and has a variety of shops and restaurants. A particular attraction of the city is the quality of both state and private schools, King's and Queen's School being particularly well regarded.
