4 Bedroom Cottage in Chester

The Old Post Office is the best of both worlds, an idyllic cottage feel but only 5 mins drive or 20 mins walk from Chester city centre, the train station and the racecourse.
4 good size double bedrooms, 1 King and 3 doubles, 2 lounges with open fires, a main bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower, a second WC and shower room on the ground floor, a well equipped kitchen with dining area and a delightful south facing garden with a hot tub, there is plenty of room.
An iconic period property situated along prestigious, tree-lined Dee Banks in the Chester village of Boughton, The Old Post Office has been reloved, restored and renovated to the highest standard, right across from the banks of the River Dee.
Following extensive renovation work, carried out in 2013, which has seen the replacement of sash windows, replastering, reinsulated walls and floors, newly fitted plumbing and electrics, The Old Post Office is a home restored to its period glamour.
Poised between the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods, The Old Post Office defies conventions, resulting in an utterly unique abode, brimming with quirks and character. It is a home once seen, never forgotten.
As remarkable as the home's period interior is its unrivalled location. Only two minutes' walk delivers you to the slipway onto the River Dee.
Nestled in a conservation area, get back to nature at Calder Valley Nature Reserve, directly to the rear of The Old Post Office. An ideal place to walk the dogs. Only 10-minutes' walk from the centre of Boughton, take the passenger ferry and walk across the Meadows and cross the bridge into Chester. Within Chester, feast your eyes and appetite on an abundance of restaurants, cafes, bistros and cultural delights.
Explore the attractions of Boughton: dine out at Et Alia at The Red House, a cherished local Italian offering alfresco dining overlooking the River Dee and the Meadows.
Nearby supermarkets include Waitrose and Sainsbury's. Commuting is no problem, with fantastic links to the M53, M56 and A55 and Chester railway station nearby (5 mins taxi or 20 mins walk). 5 miles / 15 mins to Chester Zoo.
PARKING - Plenty of on street parking, it's a quite area so not an issue for multiple vehicles.

Summary: Lovely accommodation in a nice area. Could walk into the centre and the accomodation was well thought out and you could tell that the owners really cared about their property and that you were well looked after.
