17 King Street, Chester

King Street is one of Chester’s most recognisable addresses. A cobbled, Georgian street sitting within the city walls, it is close to the best of what Chester has to offer. Number 17 is a four-storey townhouse that makes the most of its position, with genuine period character and four well-proportioned double bedrooms across its floors.

The famous Rows, with their mix of independent restaurants, galleries and boutique retail, are steps from the front door. The cathedral and Roman amphitheatre are within comfortable walking distance. Chester railway station, with direct services to Manchester, Liverpool and London Euston, is a short stroll away, as are the M56 and M53 for those who travel by road.

The accommodation

The entrance hall sets a welcoming tone, leading into a home arranged thoughtfully across four generous floors. At ground level, a front-facing sitting room provides a comfortable and versatile space, equally well suited as a reading room, study or everyday lounge.

To the rear, the ground floor opens into a substantial open-plan kitchen and dining room. Exposed brick walls give the space real warmth and character, complementing a well-specified kitchen with a range cooker, integrated white goods and ample storage. The layout comfortably accommodates a full dining setup, making it as practical for entertaining as it is for everyday family life. A ground-floor WC completes this level.

The first floor provides two generously sized double bedrooms, both fitted with bespoke wardrobes. The rooms benefit from good ceiling heights and pleasant outlooks over the rooftops and cobbles of King Street.

On the second floor is a third double bedroom alongside a well-appointed family bathroom. Fitted with dual wash basins, a separate shower cubicle and a freestanding bath, it is a genuinely impressive room that goes well beyond the functional.

The top floor is home to a fourth double bedroom. Set apart from the rest of the house, it works equally well as a principal suite, guest room or dedicated home office.

Outside

To the rear of the property is a private courtyard patio, a sheltered outdoor space that is something of a rarity for a city-centre home of this type. An outbuilding provides useful additional storage, and on-street resident permit parking is available on King Street.

In summary

17 King Street offers a rare combination of period character, generous accommodation and an exceptional city-centre location. For buyers looking for a home with genuine history and the convenience of everything Chester has to offer on the doorstep, this is a property well worth viewing.
