3 bed bungalow for sale

Chester Road, Chester, Cheshire CH3

Nestled in peaceful countryside just 15 minutes from Chester, this delightful three-bedroom detached bungalow offers a rare blend of rural calm and modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, the sweeping westerly views towards Moel Famau and the Clwydian Hills set the scene for a home that embraces its natural surroundings.

An oak-framed porch with bespoke stained-glass windows welcomes you, opening into the original parquet-floored hallway. From here, the property unfolds into an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. Bathed in natural light from a large front bay window and generous rear patio doors, this area feels bright, airy, and inviting. The adjoining living space features a multi-fuel burner-an ideal focal point for cosy evenings. The kitchen island and worktops are finished with granite, and a recently installed integrated dishwasher adds to the convenience.

This central hub of the home is perfect for entertaining, unwinding, or simply enjoying views of the garden. A separate lounge offers a peaceful retreat, boasting a dual aspect, solid oak flooring, and a charming brick feature wall with an inset multi-fuel burner. Bespoke bookcases frame the alcove, creating a warm and characterful space you can easily close off for privacy. At the front of the bungalow, a versatile sitting room-currently used as a dining area/office-could also serve as a fourth bedroom if needed. A useful utility room sits just off the kitchen and provides space for a washing machine, fridge and freezer and is enhanced by the added brightness of a Velux window.

The property offers three generous double bedrooms, all of which overlook open fields to the south. The master features solid oak flooring and a private ensuite shower room, creating a restful retreat. The second bedroom includes an integrated cupboard, while the main bathroom presents a white suite with tiled walls and floors, complemented by another Velux window.

This is a home that invites creativity. Its adaptable layout means you can easily tailor it to your lifestyle-whether that means crafting a reading nook, setting up a home office, or designing a dedicated play space.

Outside, the bungalow sits on just under half an acre. The spacious rear sandstone patio faces east, perfect for catching the morning sun. The garden is a true haven for nature lovers, featuring an impressive selection of fruit trees-apple, pear, damson, cherry, fig, mulberry and quince-alongside walnut and bay. A mix of oak, willow, birch, and specimen trees such as Sequoia, Indian Bean Tree, Pride of India, Katsura, Smoke Tree, Monkey Puzzle, Ginkgo, Japanese Maple, Liquidambar and Tulip Tree add exceptional interest throughout the seasons. A barn owl box, installed by the Broxton Barn Owl Group, sits along the eastern boundary.

Soft fruit can also be found in abundance, including raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, tayberry and gooseberry, in addition to several highly productive raised vegetable beds. The boundaries are framed with beech hedging to the south and east, and a mix of hawthorn, blackthorn, elder and blackberry to the north.

There is plenty of parking available, with space along the driveway, in front of the house, and on both the paved northern area and tarmacked southern section. A single garage adds further practicality.

In summary, this three-bedroom bungalow is far more than a place to live-it is a home filled with potential, character, and an unmistakable sense of tranquillity. Surrounded by open countryside and boasting flexible living spaces, it offers the ideal setting for those seeking comfort, calm, and room to create their perfect lifestyle.
