Strutt & Parker in Chester

This one-time Roman fortress city, nestled in the heart of Cheshire, was founded nearly two millennia ago and still retains a wealth of its original structures. Add to that the stunning cathedral, one of the UK’s top zoos, and an array of museums to delight even the most passionate culture enthusiast, and you’ve got a fantastic place to put down roots.

Chester isn’t just steeped in Roman history and architecture: beyond the ancient city walls, you’ll find the awe-inspiring English Gothic cathedral, the medieval charm of The Rows—one of the oldest shopping galleries in the country—and the formidable Norman castle. But the city centre is far from a static relic; it’s a vibrant, living space where history meets modern life.

The award-winning Grosvenor Park offers a lush haven for sunny day relaxation, and it’s just one of many green spaces easily accessible from the city centre. The Rows bustle with boutique shops and international fashion brands, all housed within beautifully preserved historic buildings. For everyday conveniences, a short stroll will lead you to modern retail hubs with popular international chains.

Venture beyond the city centre, and you’ll discover thriving neighbourhoods like Hoole, renowned for its independent shops, high-end hotels, and lively café culture. Families often gravitate towards Handbridge, known for its excellent schools and spacious homes. Chester’s residential offerings are as diverse as its history, with everything from suburban bungalows and modern city flats to charming period properties.

Chester’s prime location makes it a gateway not just to the rest of Cheshire, but also to the breathtaking landscapes of North Wales. The city is well connected to Liverpool and Manchester, with frequent train and bus services reaching picturesque towns and villages across the region. For drivers, a network of major routes offers easy access to the stunning Cheshire countryside and the rugged beauty of Snowdonia just over the Welsh border.

A wonderful place to settle down, Chester offers something for everyone—rich history, modern amenities, and the best of both Cheshire and North Wales right on your doorstep.
