Idyllic Victorian Cottage Open Fire, Hot Tub, Sleeps 8, City 5 mins, Zoo 15 mins

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.
