Set in the heart of the vibrant and historic suburb of Hoole, just a short stroll from the bustling Faulkner Street, 36 Hoole Road is a substantial Victorian semi-detached home that offers an exciting opportunity to secure space, character, and potential in one of Chester’s most desirable locations. This handsome property is tucked between the charm of All Saints Church and the convenience of the city centre, which is within a comfortable twenty-minute walk.
The home immediately impresses with its mature front garden and striking period façade. While neighbouring properties have added front driveways, this home enjoys private off-road parking to the rear via Shavington Avenue, where a substantial double garage provides excellent secure parking or storage options. Side gardens and established shrubbery surround the house, offering privacy and greenery from every angle.
Stepping inside, a quarry-tiled entrance porch leads to a grand hallway adorned with a beautifully preserved original timber balustrade. The first of several reception rooms sits to the front of the home—an elegant living room with a stunning corner bay window, original sash windows with secondary glazing, an open fireplace with a stunning surround, and soaring ceilings that highlight its period charm. Adjacent is a large formal dining room, equally characterful, featuring a side bay window that bathes the space in light and a working stove within another impressive timber surround.
Further along, a useful walk-in pantry and downstairs cloakroom/WC enhance the home’s practicality, while a less formal dining room or breakfast room leads seamlessly into a kitchen fitted with light wood-effect units, tiled flooring, and space for modern appliances. A step down leads to a sunny side conservatory/sun room, offering beautiful views over the private garden, with potential for extending or redesigning this space into a more substantial living area, such as an orangery.
To the rear, a separate utility room with an additional sink and access to the back garden provides even more functional space. The garden itself is a peaceful haven—unexpectedly quiet for such a central location—with sweeping lawns, mature borders, and a sunny westerly aspect, making it ideal for relaxation and outdoor entertaining.
Upstairs, the home spans two further floors. The first floor offers three generous bedrooms, each with its own period features, including cast-iron fireplaces, timber doors, and large sash windows. The principal front bedroom enjoys a wonderful bay with views of the church clock—charming and practical in equal measure. The family bathroom, complete with a white suite, is accompanied by a separate WC and a spacious airing cupboard. The single bedroom four could be the perfect candidate for conversion into a large en suite to create a luxurious principal suite being located next to bedroom one.
The second floor features two additional bedrooms, perfect for children, guests, or even a home office. From the upper rear bedroom, you’ll appreciate a bird’s eye view of the garden, reinforcing the impressive size and privacy of the plot.
Offered with no onward chain and priced with its potential in mind, 36 Hoole Road is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully proportioned, character-filled family home in a prime Chester location.
