Description

4 Chester Street is an elegant and immaculately presented Victorian stone built townhouse, offering bright, spacious, and comfortable accommodation arranged over three floors.

The property has been thoughtfully restored and upgraded to a family home by the current owner and retains a wealth of original period features, including ornate mantelpieces, intricate cornicing, working shutters, and a striking wrought-iron triple-bay balcony fronting the drawing room.

These traditional elements have been seamlessly integrated with modern, high specification upgrades, such as a stylish contemporary kitchen and luxurious, recently renovated bathrooms.

The ground and first floors offer exceptional family living and entertaining space. The expansive dining room, located beside the recently upgraded kitchen, provides a superb setting for hosting, while the first floor is home to an elegant and light-filled drawing room. The ground floor also includes a well appointed utility room and a sleek wet room.

All bedrooms are generously proportioned. The principal suite on the first floor features a dressing room and a luxurious en suite bath and shower room, with an additional shower room also located on this level.

The second floor is beautifully illuminated by a grand and ornate cupola, and comprises four further spacious double bedrooms, one of which would lend itself well to use as a study or dressing room, alongside a family bath and shower room.

To the rear of the property are two private off-street parking spaces, accessed via Chester Street Lane.

Uniquely, the garden flat below is also available for purchase through Savills, offering the rare opportunity to acquire a fully refurbished townhouse comprising up to eight bedrooms and six bathrooms, extending to approximately 5,000 sq ft in total over four floors.
