About
A rare opportunity to rent a substantial five-bedroom period townhouse, quietly positioned on a cobbled street within the historic grounds of Chester Cathedral, right in the very heart of the city.
This characterful home retains many original features and offers generous, flexible accommodation arranged over three floors, combining period charm with impressive space in an unparalleled city-centre setting.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, study or occasional bedroom, a large kitchen/dining room, utility room, cloakroom with WC, and access to a useablel cellar.
To the first floor is a generously proportioned reception room (which could alternatively be used as a bedroom), a large principal bedroom, a further bedroom and a shower room, along with a useful airing cupboard/storage room.
The second floor provides two additional bedrooms.
Outside, the property enjoys a delightful, well-maintained walled garden, offering a peaceful retreat from the city, together with a private side pathway.
Tandem off-street parking for two vehicles is available, with provision for an EV charging point if required. Opportunities to live in such a unique and historic location are exceptionally rare.
Note: The landlord may require occasional access across the rear garden, for which reasonable notice would always be given.
