Semi-detached house for sale in Chester CH3, 3 Bedroom

Location: The property is on Barkhill Road, just a hop and a skip from Queen's Road Community Park, in the heart of Vicars Cross - a highly sought-after Chester suburb with excellent commuter links and an array of local amenities. There's easy access to the outer ring road/A41, the A55, A56, and nearby motorway networks (M53, M56) - in a nutshell, it's a great spot! It's just over a mile to the city centre, but there are local shops just around the corner on Queen's Road, and Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Aldi are all close by too. There's a number of 'Good' local primary and secondary schools, including the popular Oldfield Primary less than half a mile away. You're also in the catchment area for Christleton High School, rated Outstanding - no wonder this area is so popular!

Property: The house itself is a wonderful family home with a fabulous garden, single garage, utility/outbuilding, and the added bonus of a converted loft room. There's a generous lounge, good-sized dining room, and decent kitchen on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms, one single bedroom, and the family bathroom upstairs. The loft has been converted into a useable space, with access via ladder from the first floor landing. Outside, there's off-street parking for a couple of cars on the driveway, along with plenty of on-street parking and a single garage too.

Recent updates/other info: The family bathroom was fitted only four years ago, the patio doors are relatively new and some windows have also been replaced. The boiler is a combi and has been serviced annually. Further details can be found below, but please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or if you'd like to come and take a look around!
