Folly House is a truly stunning detached property which occupies one of the most enviable plots in Hoole. It lies just outside the local conservation area and offers tremendous scope to upgrade, extend* and could be transformed into a stunning family home with large grounds and driveway surrounded by high brick walls and established boundaries. It is nestled in the corner of Kilmorey Park Avenue and overlooks the historic Flookersbrook.

The property is being offered to the market for the very first time having been owned by the same family since its construction after the war and is being sold with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

It is described in more detail as follows:- The house is tucked away behind high brick walls and is approached via a set of gates and gravelled driveway which offers ample off road parking. It has superb kerb appeal and is symmetrical in its design with the front door in the centre of the property. The front door opens into an impressive entrance hall with feature turned staircase and an abundance of period features, including original parquet flooring, which is a common theme throughout. Off the hall there is a spacious sitting room which stretches the full depth of the property and benefits from dual aspect to the front and rear as well as a feature fireplace. This room is an example of the large proportions that the property offers throughout. The dining room is on the opposite side of the hall and has pleasant views of the front drive. To the rear of the property there is a rear hall which provides access to the kitchen and downstairs W.C/shower room. The kitchen contains wall and base units with a window to the rear garden and a useful store cupboard.

At first floor level there are three bedrooms which are all served by a family bathroom, along with the shower room on the ground floor. The principal bedroom is a large double room and mirrors the dimensions of the sitting room below. It has commanding views of the rear garden as well as a pleasant aspect towards Flookersbrook and Hoole Road beyond. Bedrooms two and three are both double rooms and are accessed off a well proportioned landing. The family bathroom would benefit from some modernisation and is currently fitted with a bath, hand basin and low flush W.C as well as a cupboard which houses a modern style Worcester boiler.

The property sits in impressive mature grounds which also offers huge scope to landscape and transform. There is an established lawn and mature shrub borders with an assortment of specimen trees along with a feature pond. There is a detached garage block with a garden shed attached at the rear. This is accessed via the side of the house off the driveway and has the potential to be converted or incorporated into a larger extension to the property, subject to the necessary consents. The house itself sits centrally within its plot and has access around both sides which lead to the front garden and gravelled driveway where there is space for numerous vehicles. This is complemented by a front lawn and high brick walls offering plenty of screening.

The property occupies a hugely prominent location overlooking the historic Flookersbrook and is within striking distance of the high street in Hoole and walking distance to all local amenities, schools as well as the city centre & railway station which are within a short stroll. The suburb of Hoole lies just outside Chester City Centre and hosts an array of award winning independent shops, cafe bars and restaurants. Alexandra Park features a children's play area, open lawns, bowling green and tennis courts. There is also a doctors surgery, dentist, several well regarded primary schools and convenience stores including the local Co-op which is directly opposite on Hoole Road.
