About this property

Set amidst the excitement of Chester’s city centre is this Grade II listed canal side gem, Tower View Cottage. This 200-year-old property is perfectly positioned for that long-awaited city escape that you have been seeking, ideally suited for a couple looking for a romantic getaway or for an action-packed break.

The adjoining dining area is perfect for indulging in a takeaway, popping open a bottle of wine or delighting in your home-cooked meal. Step into the kitchen, where you will find a range of quality appliances, inviting you in to cook up a family favourite dish, with the stable door providing easy access to the attractive courtyard and the Georgian paned window with its lovely views to the back of the property. Head upstairs to find the two bedrooms, with the single bedroom providing views of the city walls and the tower, which is lit up in the evening with a rosy glow. The double bedroom with its ample storage gives a calm and serene atmosphere, thanks in part to the triple glazed windows. Continuing to impress is the south-facing courtyard, where you can look forward to a spot of alfresco dining, with the city walls as your backdrop, or listen to the faint peel of Cathedral bells on a Sunday morning while you enjoy your morning coffee. In addition to the choice of picking up the ‘hop on, hop off’ tourist bus just down the road, you have on the doorstep a superb selection of shops, ranging from convenience stores, supermarkets and high-street shops, accompanied by a plethora of quirky cafés, fine-dining restaurants, cosy pubs and fun-filled bars.

Spend glorious days at the Chester Racecourse or meet the animals at the world renowned Chester Zoo, home to 35,000 animals and 128 acres of zoological gardens, promising a great day out for families.
