About
74 lache lane: Situated on one of Chester’s most prestigious and highly regarded addresses, this substantial five-bedroom detached family home offers outstanding potential.
Located close to excellent schools including Belgrave Primary School, The King’s School, The Catholic High, and Queen’s Park High, the property combines an enviable location with extensive accommodation and scope to complete the finishing touches to your own taste.
Set on the corner of Cranford Court and Lache Lane, the home is approached via a private tarmac driveway with laurel hedging providing privacy.
The driveway leads to a double carport and garage, above which sits a unique first-floor balcony overlooking the large, enclosed rear garden.
The spacious ground floor includes a welcoming entrance hall, a sizeable study/playroom, a cloakroom, and a large living room with a feature cast-iron log burning stove.
The true heart of the home is the expansive open-plan dining kitchen, stretching over 33ft in width.
With bi-fold doors, a central island with breakfast bar, Bosch appliances, clever storage, and a walk-in pantry, this is a superb space for both family life and entertaining.
A utility/boot room offers further access and practicality.
Upstairs are five generously sized double bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms, plus a luxurious family bathroom featuring a slipper-style freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and twin sinks.
The master suite also benefits from a stylish en-suite and direct access to the impressive balcony – perfect for relaxing while overlooking the garden.
Externally, the property enjoys a large rear garden with scope to extend further into the side plot, creating even more space or parking.
With most of the major works already complete, the home now requires only cosmetic finishing touches, presenting buyers with the rare opportunity to put their own stamp on a landmark property in a prime Chester location.
