Location
Hoole has fast become arguably one of Chester's most sought after suburbs! The demand for the area is at an all time high and who can blame them! There is so much to offer just within the immediate locality from boutique shops to bars and award winning restaurants. However the City centre is within walking distance where there is a wider range of shopping and leisure facilities. Hoole's character and charm comes from a great deal of Victorian style properties where most have been sympathetically upgraded and restored to provide a modern blend of tradition and style. Now known as \"Notting Hoole\"... the name says it all. For travel the property is within a mile or so of the M53 motorway and Chester Station is within walking distance for travel both to London and the other major cities across the North West. Could we get anymore central? Location is everything!
