A beautifully restored townhouse in the historic heart of the city with parking.
Description
6 Shipgate Street is a Grade II listed townhouse believed to date from 1840 with older foundations. The house is located in a pretty conservation area on a delightful cobbled street in the historic heart of Chester city centre. The property was purchased by the current owners in 2015 and they subsequently undertook a complete and comprehensive programme of renovation and refurbishment. The work undertaken includes but is not limited to restoring and replacing flooring, installation of a high quality Magnet kitchen and replacement bathrooms, boiler replacement. The attention to detail is meticulous and the quality of workmanship and materials used is first rate. The project has been undertaken with real attention to detail and the owners have been careful to retain the original character and features of the house whilst creating a home that is perfect for contemporary living.
To the left of the entrance hall is a dramatic formal dining room connected to the kitchen/breakfast room via original double doors and providing the opportunity to create additional space when entertaining. Above the French doors is a very attractive stained glass panel depicting The Shipgate. The high quality Magnet kitchen is the heart of the house and has been very well thought out with larder cupboards, base units, storage drawers, central breakfast island with sink and storage cabinets, a range cooker, integrated appliances to include extractor fan and space for an American style fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is also a walk-in pantry. The vaulted ceiling has a large skylight adding to the sense of space and light. There are some really lovely design details in the kitchen including a custom glass splashback above the cooker and intricate mosaic tiling around the sink area. Stairs lead up to the first floor and overlooking the stairs is an attractive stained glass window.
To the right side of the entrance hallway is a charming sitting room and this is a beautifully bright and tranquil room having a dual aspect.
A cloakroom with wc and wash hand basin completes the accommodation on the ground floor.
On the first floor is an elegant drawing room with dual aspect sash windows, high ceiling and a very pretty view towards Lower Bridge Street and rising up to Duke Street. This room has a beautiful original mantlepiece and is such a lovely space to relax or entertain. This room could also be used as an additional bedroom if required. The spacious master bedroom and family bathroom with bath, separate shower, sink and wc are also on this floor.
On the second floor are two further bedrooms and a bathroom. This is a really flexible area, excellent for guest accommodation, dependent relatives or could also be used as office space.
The entire house is presented to the highest standard and has been decorated in a stylish, contemporary colour palette.
The cellar is accessed from the kitchen and there are three rooms. One of the rooms is currently used as a home office and the other is used as a utility room with sink and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. The cellar also provides really good additional storage space.
Outside is a pretty courtyard planted with a variety of shrubs.
6 Shipgate Street has the benefit of 2 underground parking spaces (leased from Managing Estates Ltd).
Location
6 Shipgate Street is situated within the Roman walls in the heart of the historic city of Chester in a peaceful conservation area. All the amenities that the city has to offer including excellent shops and fine dining are within walking distance.
A key attraction of Chester is the quality of education and this particular location is attractive to those with children schooled at Queen's and King's both of which are easily accessible.
The Cathedral City of Chester is one of the north-west's leading retail and commercial centres and offers an extensive range of shops, restaurants and cultural activities.
Chester has direct access to the motorway network, linking to Manchester, Liverpool and their airports and to the North Wales coast. There is a direct and regular rail service to London Euston (about 2 hours).
