Set in a superb south facing plot of over half an acre and within walking distance of two schools and the village centre, an outstanding family home of 3198 square feet with detached double garage.

Comment From Robert Reed Of Gascoigne Halman

Marketing properties like this is why I love my job so much.

Christleton is a special village, located just under four miles from the city centre of Chester. Rich in character, full of historical buildings and offering stunning visual appeal, it is a location that is hugely desirable. What I particularly love about Essenwood is that it is located in the heart of the village so all the amenities can be enjoyed within the shortest of strolls. The centrality does not though mean there is any compromise in plot, with the size extending to 0.57 acres and incorporating a long and wide driveway, detached double garage and glorious south facing gardens which are mature, private and impressive in equal measure.

Essenwood is without question one of the most desirable family houses in the village. And is offered for sale with no ongoing chain.

The house was built in 1964 and acquired by the present owners in late 2003. They transformed the house with complete refurbishment that included extensions, a new detached double garage, new plumbing, electrics, roof, drains, bathrooms and kitchen. It was in all but name, a new house. The design and every detail was completed with day-to-day family life in mind and there is a fantastic combination of large open plan spaces and separate break out spaces. The reception rooms each have their own character and appeal and are incredibly versatile. The open plan living, dining and garden room is a particular feature, and this is mirrored on the other side of the house with another large games/garden room.
