This beautiful home is just a 5 minute walk from the river Dee and a short walk into Chester City Centre with the A55 less than 30 seconds away by car - convenient is an understatement. \r
\r
More and more young family members can't afford to leave home and the Bank of Mum and Dad can't always afford to give them deposits to help them on their way.....which means they aren't leaving home for some time!!!!\r
\r
So take a look at this gem of a family home, located in the popular residential area of Boughton. It comes with completely versatile accommodation and can be configured as a five or six bedroom, two or three reception room family home. There's an internal garage which again, with the correct planning, be converted into even more living space or bedroom seven!\r
\r
As we pull up outside No.96 Becketts Lane, a low level brick wall sets the boundary to the front and side, with a well trimmed hedge separating us from next door. The concrete driveway allows parking for a couple of cars and then the internal garage offers one more space for a car, or as most people use today, plenty of storage space for all the stuff we love to hoard!\r
\r
A long slate tiled ridge runs the whole length of this home and next door and offers a degree of shelter from the elements as we fumble for our keys. The wooden front door is set well back, and the part leaded windows lets ample light to flood into the hallway.\r
\r
Stepping into the hall, a tiled floor remains for easy cleaning, a radiator keeps it nice and toasty, a set of stairs rises to, you guessed it, the first floor accommodation, and then there are two doors on the ground floor which open into firstly, the living room.\r
\r
A rather lovely parquet floor welcomes you in and gives you a lovely warm feeling of originality, as so often these floors are covered away or removed. An open working fireplace with a rather lovely tiled and wood trimmed hearth, sits pride of place on the centre wall. A bay window not only gives you more space but also keeps it nice and bright, with a high ceiling that helps create the feeling of grandeur. A picture rail runs 360 degrees around the room, reminding you that this is no modern boxy home, but a home that was built when quality mattered.\r
\r
Moving along the hallway and the next door open into a super room. I say super room because that is what it is, it's really three spaces opened up into one superspace.\r
\r
The first section that we walk into currently plays host to a set of double sofas, a one seater settee, and a log burning stove that will probably heat Chester. It's an open room but the way it's been laid out, makes it feel nice and cosy.\r
\r
Stepping through the square archway, if there is such a thing, we walk into what is currently the dining area. Currently housing a large six seat dining table and chairs, you could fit an even larger one in here if required, but the present owners use one end as an office.....but this room still offers plenty of space in here without feeling overcrowded. Another large square arch opens up into a sunroom. \r
\r
This room at the moment is the place where you'd sit with a nice book and a glass of wine or a cuppa (depending on mood) and unwind at the end of a hard days work. It's bright, double patio doors open to reveal the outside and a tiled floor helps separate it from the rest of the room. \r
Another smaller square archway takes you back to the first section of the super room, making this room feel shut off but yet still very accessible.\r
\r
A door from the dining area opens to reveal the kitchen / breakfast room. \r
\r
OK, if I'm totally honest, this isn't the most modern of kitchens, it works and does its job perfectly, but an update with the units or even just the worksurfaces would transform this room. Work surfaces cover three walls and allow plenty of space for food preparation and also a place for the 21st century gadgets that we've become so used to. Floor and wall mounted storage units are aplenty, this is probably the only kitchen that I've ever been in where there may be too many cupboards, but we'll always find something to put in them. There are voids for a fridge and freezer, washing machine, drier, cooker and a dishwasher. To finish this room off there's an island in the middle of the room, so that your guests can sit and watch you create some culinary masterpieces or unpack the takeaway boxes!\r
\r
A generous sized window offers a view over the rear garden while you wash up and to the side another window helps keep it nice and bright, with a door that leads to the outside side and rear garden - but we'll come back to that at the end.\r
\r
You know sometimes when a house is large downstairs, the upstairs can be a real disappointment as it's never as big.......well, you won't be disappointed here. \r
\r
At the top of the stairs, it's like something out of a large hotel. Corridors seem to lead here there and everywhere. So let's start from the top of the stairs and continue walking straight, and then work our way back to the front of the house.\r
\r
As we reach the top of the stairs, a corridor leads to the end, bends around to the left and then turns right again. At the end are two doors, both opening to the rear bedrooms.\r
\r
The bedroom on the left, let's call it bedroom four, offers ample space for a double bed and freestanding furniture. A window keeps it light and offers views over the rear garden. \r
\r
Next door is bedroom five. This again is another double bedroom, however, it is currently being used as an office. The walls are partition walls so to reconfigure this into one huge room, or even a suite to include the bathroom (which I'm coming to) is all very easy, it all depends how you want your home to be. But if you changed it around, you could have a walk in wardrobe, a large bedroom and then an en-suite.\r
\r
As we walk back up towards the stairs, a door on our right, which we would have already passed, opens into the family bathroom. It comes with the usual suspects that you'd expect to find in here, a panelled bath, pedestal wash hand basin and of course, the WC. A frosted window lets natural light in and keeps prying eyes out. Part tiled walls and a fully tiled floor helps make for easy cleaning. A wooden ceiling adds a bit of charm.\r
\r
Back past the stairs and we bend to the right where a door opens into bedroom three. Again we have another double bedroom that still allows space for bedside cabinets and a wardrobe. A window looks out to the rear allowing more light to stream in.\r
\r
At the far end past the banister, a large cupboard opens to reveal a handy storage place. Just past that, a door opens into what is currently, the main bedoom. \r
\r
This is the largest of all rooms and offers plenty of space for king size bed, a freestanding wardrobe, there is also a built in wardrobe to create more free space. There's a large window offering views out over the front elevation. \r
\r
Stepping out of the main bedroom, we turn left and walk down the last hallway. You could if you wanted, put a door on this hallway at the top, or even towards the bottom and create the main bedroom down here. My reasons for this are, if you wanted an en-suite, then there's another bathroom down here at the end, with a bedroom opposite. The walls are easily removed and so you could create a much larger bedroom than there is currently, and then use the bathroom as an ensuite. \r
\r
If you didn't want to do the above, then you have bedroom two, which is another double bedroom, with a window looking out over the front. As mentioned before, opposite this room is bathroom two.\r
\r
This is the larger of the two bathrooms and not only does it have a bath, but a shower cubicle too, offering the best of both worlds to keep clean. You have the obligatory toilet and sink, part tiled walls and a frosted window to help keep it light inside and private outside. Laminate floor means cleaning is very simple. \r
\r
Finally we end up in the garden. Walking out from the kitchen door, there's a side passage which leads to the garage. You could if you had planning and the money and the desire, turn the garage into more living space. If you find a good architect, there is so much you could do with this space, other than store your car or possessions in here.\r
\r
A handy toilet is also located in here which is really useful when you're sitting outside having a BBQ and you need the toilet....it stops everyone traipsing through your home. You could encompass this toilet into the home with a bit of planning.\r
\r
The garden is a pretty decent size and is surprisingly, very private. It's mostly laid to lawn with a patio area directly outside the rear of the home, perfect for large garden furniture. Hedges run the full length of the garden down both sides, providing distance and privacy from your lovely neighbours. A patio path also runs the length of the garden to the rear, where you'll find a wooden shed, ideal for garden stuff to be stored. \r

\r
All in all this is the perfect large versatile family home. You can play with the configuration until your hearts content as this home will last you until the end, when the kids finally leave home that is (dream on).....but you know, you'll always leave a room for them just in case they want to come back! It could be a four bed with an en-suite, a six bed if you use a room downstairs as a bedroom, or seven with the garage if you convert it, or you could leave it as it is and be happy with five beds, two family bathrooms, three reception rooms, a large kitchen / breakfast room, a generous garden, a garage and a driveway for at least two cars, and all this within a short walk of Chester City Centre and around 1 minute to the A55\r
