* CHARMING COTTAGE LOCATED CLOSE TO THE VILLAGE OF SAUGHALL * USEFUL DETACHED BUILDING USED AS A WORKSHOP & HOME OFFICE. An attractive four bedroom semi-detached cottage occupying a generous size plot conveniently situated close to the popular village of Saughall and within easy reach of Chester city centre and North Wales. The original part of the cottage is believed to date back to the 19th century and in more modern times has been considerably extended to create a spacious family home with a flexible layout. The accommodation briefly comprises: open porch, reception hallway, utility/downstairs WC, large living room with log burner, open-plan kitchen and dining area, sitting room with French doors to the garden, garden room with bi-folding doors to the garden, landing, principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The main garden at the rear enjoys a southerly aspect and provides a lawned area with plenty of space for children to play, a paved terrace, chicken run and greenhouse.
