Eaton House

About this property

Eaton House is a welcoming three-storey house in Chester, Cheshire, occupying a desirable position within a conservation area. This pet-friendly retreat is well-suited to families and groups of friends seeking a city break in Cheshire, boasting a toasty woodburning stove, enclosed garden and a Japanese plunge bath. Arrive at the neat driveway, framed by established hedges and trees, and step inside to discover a home that has been thoughtfully extended and redecorated throughout. Wooden flooring flows through the entrance hall, creating a warm first impression as you leave coats and walking shoes behind before beginning your stay. Make your way into the sitting room, where large windows fill the space with natural light.

Sink into the sofas or armchair with a morning coffee, catch up on a favourite programme on the mounted TV, or light the woodburning stove and settle in for a relaxed evening after a day spent exploring Chester's historic streets. The rooms' traditional styling and welcoming atmosphere make it a wonderful place to gather together. At the rear of the property, the open-plan living area forms the social heart of the home. Gather around the large dining table to share meals and plan the next day's adventures, perch at the breakfast bar with a glass of something chilled while dinner is prepared, or curl up in the hanging egg chair with a good book as conversation flows around you.

Generous proportions and stylish décor create a bright, inviting space for spending quality time together, while the contemporary kitchen is well-equipped for everything from leisurely breakfasts to celebratory dinners. Beyond, a practical utility room with tiled flooring provides additional space for the everyday necessities of a longer stay. As the day draws to a close, four bright bedrooms await across the upper floors. The principal king-size bedroom features an en-suite shower room and a distinctive Japanese soaking tub, offering a soothing spot to relax before bed. A double bedroom and separate shower room complete the first floor, while the second floor is home to a further double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and an additional double bedroom.

Wooden flooring, carefully chosen artwork and light-filled interiors create inviting spaces for a restful night's sleep. Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a neat lawn and patio area complete with outdoor furniture. Whether enjoying breakfast in the fresh air, dining together on a sunny afternoon, or simply relaxing with a drink as the evening sun reaches the west-facing garden, this attractive outdoor space provides a lovely extension of the home. A traditional pub can be reached within moments of leaving the front door, local shops are only a brief stroll away, and a pleasant walk leads to the banks of the River Dee, making it easy to experience some of Chester's best-loved surroundings without needing the car.

Chester itself is rich in history and character. Walk the ancient City Walls for far-reaching views across the city, explore the impressive architecture and fascinating heritage of Chester Cathedral, and browse the unique independent shops and galleries found along the famous Rows. A visit to Chester Zoo offers the chance to discover thousands of animals, beautifully landscaped habitats and informative conservation experiences. Liverpool is easily reached for a day out filled with culture and waterfront scenery. Explore the historic Royal Albert Dock, visit The Beatles Story to follow the journey of the world-famous band, and admire the scale and craftsmanship of Liverpool Cathedral, one of Britain's most remarkable religious buildings.

Combining character, generous social spaces and an excellent location close to both Chester's attractions and everyday amenities, Eaton Houseprovides a wonderful setting for memorable breaks with family and friends.

Chester has quite rightly been described as 'the jewel of the North-West of England'. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the city is that within a very small area there is evidence of every period of history - from the old walls and amphitheatre of Roman times, through medieval churches, Elizabethan timber-framed townhouses and Georgian terraces, to Victorian restorations and 21st century architecture. The city has much to offer the tourist, including excellent shopping in and around the famous Tudor 'Rows' and lovely walks along the Roman Walls, beside the River Dee and through the picturesque Grosvenor Park. Explore Chester's beautiful medieval cathedral, visit Chester Racecourse or spend a day at the world renowned Chester Zoo. Further afield, the stunning Welsh mountains and coastline, the quaint market towns and villages of Cheshire and the Wirral Peninsula with its first class golf courses, are all within easy touring distance, whilst frequent rail services make Liverpool, Manchester and the North Wales coast readily accessible.
