When it comes to location, it will be a hard push to find better! Positioned in the centre of Chester’s most sought-after village of Christleton, this fantastic detached home boasts the perfect blend of location and property. Tucked away at the end of the pretty Quarry Lane, its quiet position is perfect, yet combine this with the open canal aspect to the rear and you really are in your own little oasis. Offering the best of both worlds, you have the peace and quiet of its truly tranquil setting, yet within a short stroll, you have all that Christleton has to offer, with its shops, café, local pub and outstanding schools.
The property has been beautifully improved by our clients with a keen eye for detail and quality, the rear extension particularly, which has allowed for the desirable open plan living, whilst still retaining two separate reception rooms. Our clients have maximised the space available to deliver a family home with all you could need, well-proportioned rooms and plenty of them, all blended perfectly with attractive fittings and décor. You can simply move in and put your feet up.
Upon entering, you are greeted with a bright and spacious hall, emphasised with the open plan aspect to the rear living space. Doors lead to the downstairs WC and two reception rooms, both offering fantastic versatility for use however suits. Holding the heart of the home is the open plan kitchen/dining/living room. Not only a fantastic size thanks to the full width extension across the rear, but perfectly designed to offer flexibility within the space for all living and dining needs. Flooded with natural light from the many windows, there is also a large inset ceiling lantern within the roof and bi-fold doors to the garden, which have been fitted with integral blinds for added privacy, beautifully framing the aspect whilst also offering the convenience of indoor to outdoor living. The kitchen has been well fitted to provide ample storage and granite work surface, inclusive of two large pull out larder storage units and the seamless finish of integral appliances including two side by side fan ovens and a dish washer. A large utility room leads conveniently off, providing further storage and space for white goods.
To the first floor, there is a light and airy landing with doors leading to the four bedrooms and office, perfect for those working from home. The principal bedroom is well proportioned, featuring built in wardrobes and enjoys a fantastic size en suite with a walk in shower, bath, wc and wash basin! The family bathroom offers a bath, wc and wash basin, all complemented perfectly with attractive tiling.
Externally the property boasts an unrivalled position. Set back from the road there is a large gravel driveway, which can fit four to five cars and a green and leafy outlook to the front. And to the rear is the real show-stopper! Not only does it boast arguably the best canal aspect in the village, but its clever landscaping has allowed for no compromise on privacy where needed. Laid mainly to lawn, there are also beautifully stocked borders and a raised Indian stone patio area, just perfect for those summer evenings. Storage is a must and covered well here with use of a large brick built outbuilding and the garden shed, both of which comes complete with power and lighting.
What a property and what a location!
Location
This cluster of handsome villages on Chester’s eastern edge, Christleton, Rowton, Waverton and Littleton have long been among the most sought-after addresses in the area; prized for their outstanding schools, open fields and strong community life. Christleton alone was voted Cheshire’s best-kept village four years running, and all four settlements share that same well-tended, settled charm. Just a couple of miles from the city centre yet firmly rural in feel, they suit families, professionals, commuters and retirees in equal measure.
Village Life & Amenities
Christleton is the social heart of the group, with the award-winning Ring O’Bells country pub, the Christleton Institute social club, a village store, a much-loved cricket club and the picturesque pond at its centre. Its homes range from grand period houses to characterful worker’s cottages. Neighbouring Littleton, the smallest of the four, is known for its larger, substantial properties and a golf club on Tarvin Road, with quick access to the A51 and the city beyond making it a firm favourite with commuters.
Waverton, the largest by area, has a village store, hairdresser and a local fish & chips, with Jubilee Fields home to junior and adult football, plus a golf club, the famous Crocky Trail and a historic flour mill nearby. Rowton completes the group – a small, historic village beside the A41, best known for the Georgian Rowton Hall, now a country-house hotel, and as the site of the 1645 Battle of Rowton Heath. Together the four villages offer everyday amenities, green space and genuine community within easy reach of everything Chester has to offer.
What makes it intentionally different?
This is where families start, come together and wind down. It’s the kind of location that people carefully choose to spend their days, enjoying the life that village lives bring.
Schools & Getting Around
Schooling is a major draw. Christleton Primary School and the highly regarded Christleton High School are both rated Outstanding by Ofsted and held in high esteem across the county, with Waverton also home to a well-regarded primary school. For transport, the A41 and A51 give swift access to Chester’s ring road and city centre, with frequent bus links throughout. The M53 and M56 open up Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales, while Chester’s mainline station offers direct services to London Euston in just over two hours.
