Inside historic Chester semi 'of rare elegance' with 'enviable' River Dee views

A Victorian property "of rare elegance" with "enviable" views of the River Dee has gone on the market in Chester. The four-bed semi on Sandy Lane, Boughton, is valued at £1.25m.

The house, built around 1850, also boasts two bathrooms, a sun terrace and private mooring. It is being marketed by Currans Unique Homes in Chester. The Rightmove listing states: "A distinguished Victorian home of rare elegance, Earls Eye House combines historic character with generous proportions and an enviable riverside position in the heart of Chester.

"Built around 1850, this remarkable residence offers over 5,300 square feet of versatile living space arranged across four floors, with a private garden that flows down to its own mooring on the River Dee. From the very first impression, Earls Eye House conveys a sense of grandeur and permanence. Its ornate Victorian architecture is softened by landscaped gardens, while the elevated setting allows for uninterrupted views of the river and beyond.

"The gardens of Earls Eye House are as enchanting as its interiors. Terraces spill gently towards the water, where borders are punctuated by vibrant trees, shrubs and seasonal planting. A sun terrace by the house creates an intimate spot for morning coffee or evening gatherings, while further down the garden, a private mooring opens up the river for boating or simply watching the world drift by. "

It concludes: "Earls Eye House is more than a home. It is a piece of Chester’s story, shaped by Victorian ambition and preserved with care for the next custodian. With its combination of space, character, gardens and direct river access, it offers a lifestyle of elegance and ease, a sanctuary within walking distance of the city’s heart yet entirely private in outlook and feel."
