A centrally positioned detached house, of considerable charm and character, offered with no chain and benefiting from catchment to excellent schools and with mature garden, driveway and garage
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
Very often houses of individual character and dating from the 1890¿s are found in more rural locations, not particularly close to village amenities. This lovely individual residence is an honourable exception to the rule, being in a particularly well regarded location, which benefits from several key fundamentals, they being the fact the road is a cul de sac, the walking distance amenities in nearby Waverton and the catchment area of some of the best schools in the whole of the County. In addition, the Shropshire Union Canal is just a short stroll away and this in turn can be used to reach the City Centre of Chester in under an hour on foot.
The house itself sits on a larger than average plot of 0.13 acre, with wrap around gardens, ample driveway parking and a detached single garage.
The house extends to circa 1704 square feet and has been priced at a competitive level to reflect both market conditions and the fact that the majority of the house is in need of complete modernisation and enhancement. This is the central appeal of the house, with hugely exciting scope to adapt and apply contemporary living concepts to this lovely period building, which is genuinely unique and without direct comparison in the locality.
The one notable recent modernisation was the installation of a new kitchen in July 2020 with an appealing oak fronted shaker style kitchen. The appliances include a Neff hide and slide fan assisted oven, microwave oven, and four ring induction hob.
This home, known as The Dormers, has been a much treasured family home for many years standing. With the next phase of investment, the house is sure to provide the new owner with an equal sense of enjoyment and delight.

Location
Rowton is a well regarded village on the fringe of Chester, that is located close to both Chrstleton and Waverton. The latter is only just over five minutes walk away. Rowton is also great for food and drink, with the Rowton Hall Hotel and Rowton Poplars both really impressive, in different ways.
Waverton provides a good range of local services for everyday needs including a post office, churches, primary school and Doctors surgery. A parade of shops includes a popular convenience store, pharmacy, Post Office, hairdressers and sandwich shop. The village is extremely attractive with the Shropshire Union Canal providing excellent walks into nearby countryside or towards the city of Chester. There are further amenities in the neighbouring village of Christleton including dental practice, two public houses and outstanding parish church.
Schooling is well catered for with a selection of private and state schools nearby including Waverton Primary, Christleton High School and Sixth Form College, Abbeygate at Saighton and Kings and Queens in the centre of Chester.
