Thornley Groves presents this week's fantastic property, where you can picture yourself at home in one of Chester's favourite villages.

Christleton is undeniably convenient for access to Chester (Thornley Groves)

With access via either staircase, you'll find morning light flooding in through mostly contemporary hardwood and double-glazed windows.

These are carefully designed to replicate original leaded designs, but to a high-performance insulation-efficient specification.

It also features a gas-fired Aga and views of nearly one acre – a large plot remarkably close to the village centre.

If you're up for exercise, the sports centre is just a step across the road.

Book a viewing and / or find more information here.

For coffee-lovers, it's just a three-minute walk to the iconic village green - where you'll find the local coffee shop and other amenities.

Further amenities include the football and cricket club, canalside walking, more pubs and coffee shops and activities such as the local Scout and Guide groups - also an easy walk away.

The highly-regarded primary and secondary schools start the day with a bustle, but Christleton soon regains its peaceful village feel.

You'll delight in the extensive south-facing gardens, with privacy provided by numerous mature shrubs, hedging and trees - some of which are significant enough to warrant tree preservation orders.

Little Paddock is perfectly situated - with main routes easily accessible, whist the conservation area retains a rural feel.

Christleton is undeniably convenient for the city of Chester and the wider North West region, as well as the attractions of North Wales.

The home possesses unique features, such as the impressive oak staircase, numerous other solid timber details, fireplaces, period radiators and decorative ceiling plasterwork.

Two slightly separate annexe bedrooms and shower room provide potential upstairs workspace or guest quarters, with plenty of downstairs space offering a good choice of room uses.

The mains gas central heating system is zoned for flexibility and hot water is plentiful with two hot water tanks – one connected to the boiler and the other served by an electric immersion heater.

Off Plough Lane, Little Paddock has an expansive gravelled driveway with space for multiple vehicles.

It also boasts an inner section leading to a detached double garage, with an inspection pit and a useful upper space.

The practical side utility area comprises an external boiler room, sink, log store and WC.

A south-facing York stone terrace runs along the rear of the house, and the west-facing side garden and a delightful loggia off the drawing room offer the perfect venue to watch the sun sink and end the day.
