2 Bedrooms End terrace house for sale in Hugh Street, Handbridge, Chester CH4 | £ 259,950

Property Description

Hugh Street is a quaint row of former Duke of Westminster workers' properties built in a John Douglas design forming part of a conservation area of Handbridge and this is of real benefit to the aesthetic of the street. Our clients during their residency have greatly improved the property both externally and internally and upon approach one will benefit from replacement railings to the front garden with its well tended borders and a sandstone pathway leading to the entrance door into the home.

The property has been upgraded by way of replacement central heating boiler and cast iron column radiators, handcrafted bespoke kitchen installed featuring solid oak surfaces and shelving and a bathroom suite offering a traditional feel. All the internal doors have been stripped and include the original solid brass beehive door handles. Overall there is significant appeal to this home. The property offers a sitting room with open plan dining kitchen to the rear and two bedrooms to the first floor, with wardrobes fitted to the principal bedroom, and a bathroom also on the first floor.

To the rear, the property benefits from a delightful walled courtyard featuring Italian granite blocked pathways and pebbled sections of garden with a mature camellia bush and hardwood garden seat. There is also an outbuilding with three compartments, primarily a utility store with power and hot water making it an excellent facility of the home and also a lockable store unit and open storage area. There is gated access to a rear alley and it should be noted that the property benefits from an off road parking space.
