A substantial family home in a large plot with extensive parking, wonderful views towards the Welsh hills and within a short walk of Chester City Centre.
Situation
Enderby House is situated in a tranquil setting at the end of a private lane, belonging to the property. Located in a popular location, the property is within a short walk of Chester city centre and is within a Conservation Area (Article 4 Directions apply to this property).
There is a wealth of local amenities in addition to a comprehensive range of amenities available in the historic city of Chester, including boutique shops, national brand outlets, award winning restaurants and public houses.
On the recreational front, Northgate Arena and Total Fitness offer swimming and indoor sports, there is horse racing at the famous Chester Racecourse, sailing on the North Wales and Wirral coastline, water sports on the River Dee and numerous golf courses in the area. The house is also well placed for several highly regarded schools including Chester Bluecoat CE Primary School (within 200m), Upton-by-Chester High School and a variety of independent schools including The Firs School, the Queens Lower School and King's and Queen's Schools.
The area is well-placed for commuting to the commercial centres of the Northwest with ease of access to the M53 leading to the M56 and M6. Chester station offers direct service to London, Euston, within 2 hours.
The Property
Enderby House is a substantial detached property believed to have been built circa 1840 of Victorian architecture, occupying a large plot offering privacy and enjoys superb westerly views towards the Welsh hills including Moel Famau.
The current owners have undertaken an elaborate scheme of improvements during their tenure whilst offering the incoming purchaser scope to continue the renovations in line with their own requirements and budget. The property has previously had planning to create a new area of roof and glazed door system to the rear of the kitchen which can be seen on Cheshire West and Chester planning portal (CWAC), reference 15/02001/FUL. More recently a fresh application was submitted for a ground floor extension to create a large family kitchen, which is yet to be determined, under reference 20/04811/FUL.
Accommodation
A recessed storm porch gives way to the front door in turn opening into an imposing central reception hall with pitch-pine herringbone laid parquet flooring and some exposed ceiling timbers. To the rear of the hallway is a downstairs WC with two-piece traditional white suite and a further doorway leads down to three substantial cellars, one featuring a "barrel vaulted" section.
To the front of the house is an elegant sitting room with ornate limestone fire surround and a sash bay window affords views to the garden. Across the hallway is a substantial oak panelled study featuring an open fireplace within a tiled surround and hearth, along with parquet flooring. To the rear of the property is a well-proportioned dining room, with seating area, featuring and open fireplace with a glazed brick surround, light oak wall panelling and a bay window with window seat, with views to the rear garden. Across the hallway is the kitchen with space for a breakfast table which is fitted with stripped pine cabinets with ceramic handles and quarry tile flooring. Off the kitchen is a large utility room with a range of base cabinets including a drainer sink unit with plumbing for laundry appliances and space for fridge freezers.
A noteworthy turned oak staircase with carved balusters lead to a spacious landing with a door to the front giving access to a balcony taking advantage of the far-reaching skyline views, towards the Welsh hills. The first floor comprises three double bedrooms; the principal bedroom benefiting from a large en suite bathroom which interconnects with the landing. This facility features a freestanding clawfoot bath, a thermostatic shower cubicle, a WC and pedestal wash hand basin. Bedroom three benefits from a substantial adjoining dressing room, which could be adapted to create additional en suite facilities, where required. The principal family bathroom has recently been refitted to a high standard with a contemporary suite comprising a walk-in drench head shower, a built-in WC and wash hand basin, a panelled bath with side fill, dual fuel heated towel radiator and contemporary porcelain tiling to the walls.
The attractive oak staircase leads to the second-floor landing giving access to two large double bedrooms, both having vaulted ceilings. Bedroom five has the benefit of an adjoining roof space with scope for conversion and bedroom four features a lovely bay window with window seat affording the best views towards the Welsh hills.
Outside
Enderby House is approached along Enderby Road, which is owned by the subject property over which neighbouring properties have a right of way, leading to a large garage, with power and lighting. The property sits in a large plot, predominantly walled. To the front of the house is a large lawned garden with sandstone retained planted borders, mature trees and shrubs, along with an ornamental pond with a child safe cover. A gateway, through a neatly trimmed privet hedge, gives access to the equally spacious rear gardens also having deep planted borders, raised vegetable beds, seating area and garden shed. There is a useful range of brick-built buildings to the rear of the house including a workshop, a fuel store and two general stores.
