This well-presented and thoughtfully extended three-bedroom dormer-linked detached bungalow occupies an enviable position within the highly sought-after area of Upton by Chester. Set back from the road on a desirable corner plot, the property enjoys mature gardens to both the front and rear, together with a pleasant open outlook towards Wealstone Lane playing fields. The location is particularly appealing and favoured by buyers of all ages, offering excellent access to a wide range of everyday amenities. Nearby facilities include local shopping, well-regarded schooling, a doctors’ surgery, the Countess of Chester Hospital, and a regular bus service providing convenient links into Chester city centre, along with many other local conveniences. The property is approached via a spacious driveway which passes an immaculately maintained front garden featuring a lawn, rockery-style borders, and a variety of established planting including a beautiful magnolia and camellia. The driveway leads to the attached garage, fitted with an up-and-over door, power and lighting, as well as a rear access door opening into the garden. To the left-hand side of the home stands a timber pergola with hardstanding beneath, accessed via an additional dropped kerb and offering potential for further off-road parking if required. Gated access leads through to the rear garden, which is well enclosed by timber fencing and thoughtfully landscaped to create a tranquil outdoor retreat. The garden features a paved patio seating area, well-stocked borders, two ponds and a variety of established shrubs, creating a true gardener’s haven. A brick-built garden store provides practical space for tools and equipment. Entry into the property is via a uPVC double-glazed front door with glazed side panels, opening into a welcoming entrance hallway. This bright and spacious area immediately sets the tone for the home, with a turned spindled staircase rising to the first floor and useful built-in cloaks storage. Two well-proportioned ground floor bedrooms are positioned off the hallway, the principal of which benefits from a built-in double wardrobe. These rooms are served by a ground floor bathroom which has been thoughtfully adapted to include an accessible walk-in bath with door and shower over. The main reception space is arranged as a generous L-shaped living and dining room. The living area enjoys a large bay window to the front elevation, filling the room with natural light and offering views towards the playing fields, while a raised fireplace provides an attractive focal point. From the dining area, sliding patio doors open into a conservatory extension to the rear – an excellent additional living space built on a brick base with uPVC double glazing and a polycarbonate roof, complete with ceiling light and fan unit. French doors open directly from the conservatory into the rear garden, creating a pleasant connection between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen completes the ground floor accommodation and offers a good range of fitted wall, base and drawer units with complementary work surfaces. There is an inset one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink with drainer, along with designated spaces and plumbing for household appliances. To the first floor, the landing leads to a generous third bedroom with good head height, benefitting from a front dormer window and built-in wardrobes. One of these houses the ‘Ideal’ combination gas central heating boiler, having been recently installed. Also on this level is an impressively sized bathroom fitted with a five-piece suite comprising a freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower enclosure, bidet, WC and wash hand basin. The room is finished with wall tiling and useful built-in storage. Altogether, this is a wonderful home offering versatile accommodation suited to a wide range of buyers, from those looking to downsize to growing families. Well maintained throughout yet still offering scope for a purchaser to add their own personal touches, early viewing is strongly encouraged to fully appreciate both the property and its exceptional setting. The property is connected to all mains services and benefits from gas central heating throughout. 1.
