Description

This charming terraced house on Tarvin Road presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and personalization. Spanning approximately 1,204 sq. ft., the property showcases attractive red-brick elevations and period features, including decorative bay windows and original fireplaces. While the home retains its character, it is in need of updating, allowing the next owner to refresh the interiors to their taste. The flexible ground-floor layout is particularly appealing, offering various options for configuration, whether for personal use or as an investment. Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall with a striking tiled floor and traditional detailing. The spacious reception room boasts a large bay window and exposed wooden flooring, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Currently set up as a bedroom, this versatile space could easily serve as a sitting room. A second reception room mirrors the proportions of the first and features its own traditional fireplace, making it another comfortable area for relaxation or entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with cream Shaker-style units and offers ample space for appliances. A separate utility room provides additional storage and laundry facilities. The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, each filled with character. The principal bedroom benefits from natural light through its large bay window, while the second bedroom features built-in shelving. The third bedroom, currently outfitted with wardrobes, overlooks the cricket ground at Chester Boughton Hall Cricket Club. The family bathroom includes a white suite with a panelled bath, wash hand basin, and WC, complemented by partially tiled walls. Outside, the property features a low-maintenance front garden and a private rear terrace garden, ideal for relaxation. With views across the cricket ground from the upper rooms, this property combines period charm with potential for modern living. Its prime location near Chester city centre enhances its appeal, making it suitable for both families looking to create their dream home and investors seeking a property with improvement potential.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This attractive period terraced home on Tarvin Road presents a compelling opportunity for buyers looking to acquire a property that they can truly make their own. The asking price of £250,000 is notably cheap compared to the local average of £332/sqf, creating an advantageous starting point for renovation. With a total of 1,204 sq. ft. to work with, there is plenty of room to refresh the dated interiors and enhance the home's character, including original fireplaces and Victorian crown moulding.

The flexible ground-floor layout offers potential for both personal living space and investment appeal. Each of the three double bedrooms is generously sized, and the principal bedroom benefits from a large bay window that floods the room with natural light.

With a renovation budget estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, this home has a solid margin potential, making it a worthwhile project for those willing to invest in its future.
