3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Lancaster Drive, Vicars Cross, Chester, Cheshire CH3

A fantastic opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom semi-detached home on Lancaster Drive, in the friendly and well-established Vicars Cross area, Chester, being sold under the modern method of auction. The property offers outstanding potential for improvement, with a guide price set well below the estimated market value, making it particularly attractive to investors or homeowners keen to add value.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious layout that includes a large lounge, a separate dining room, a conservatory, and a kitchen that opens into practical back-of-garage outhouses. These are ready for redevelopment—perhaps into a dedicated utility space to suit modern living, subject to planning. There’s also a generous garage, providing both storage and project potential.

Upstairs, the property offers two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, along with a well-sized family bathroom. A notable bonus not shown in the marketing photos is the large loft room, accessed via a loft hatch. This space is fully boarded and carpeted, making it ideal for storage or offering further development potential.

Externally, the home benefits from a private courtyard to the rear and, beyond a side gate, a large ‘secret garden’ that runs the full length of the plot thanks to its desirable corner position. The front of the property provides off-street parking.

Vicars Cross is a popular suburb, just a few minutes’ drive—or a pleasant walk along the canal—from Chester’s historic city centre. It offers excellent local amenities including shops, schools, green spaces, and well-regarded community facilities. Families will appreciate the friendly neighbourhood atmosphere, while commuters enjoy quick access to major road links such as the A55 and M53.
