Description
Vicars Cross has long been one of Chester's most desirable residential areas, a friendly, well-connected suburb where tree-lined streets and green spaces create a real sense of calm just a short hop from the city centre.
There's an excellent parade of local shops just a few minutes' walk away from Thackeray Drive, including a chemist, hairdresser, library and convenience store, along with a handful of independent cafés and takeaways for those easy midweek suppers. The Vicars Cross Community Centre, only 150 metres from the house, is the heart of village life, offering everything from Pilates and boxercise to baby and toddler groups and over-fifties dance sessions.
For families, the location couldn't be better. Oldfield Primary School is just five minutes on foot and is a highly regarded feeder for Christleton High School, rated Outstanding by Ofsted and within the catchment area.
Commuters will appreciate the excellent transport links, with easy access to the motorway network via the A51 and A55, and a twice-hourly bus service to Chester city centre from Green Lane at the end of the road.
THE GRAND TOUR
This property sits in the heart of Vicars Cross, just a short stroll from a lovely local park and a small parade of shops. As you step inside, you're greeted by a generous entrance hall - a welcoming space that connects the main ground-floor rooms and leads upstairs.
At the front of the house, there's a charming living room featuring a fireplace as its centrepiece, perfect for cosy evenings. Stretching across the rear of the property is a bright and spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area - a wonderfully versatile space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Large sliding doors open directly onto the mature back garden, filling the room with natural light. The kitchen itself is finished in a modern grey shaker style, complete with integrated appliances and plenty of storage. There's also a convenient downstairs WC just off the hallway.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom offers bespoke fitted wardrobes running the full width of the room. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom complete the first floor.
Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with established flower borders and a generous patio area for outdoor dining or relaxing. The property also benefits from off-road parking and a single garage - a real bonus in this popular area.
