Run of the House

Set in a prime location within the historic heart of Chester, this impressive run of the house accommodation offers exclusive use of the entire building, combining two apartments into one spacious and flexible retreat. Just moments from the city’s Roman walls, medieval Rows, cathedral (all within 0.5 miles), racecourse (1.2 miles), and a vibrant selection of restaurants, bars and independent shops, the property provides an exceptional base for groups seeking a memorable stay in one of England’s most characterful cities. Shared access throughout the building allows guests to move easily between spaces while enjoying both privacy and togetherness under one roof.

Arranged across four levels – from the lower ground floor through to the second floor – the property offers a generous blend of open plan living, stylish bedrooms, and contemporary bathrooms. It has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate celebrations, extended families, and group getaways. The first apartment occupies the ground and lower-ground floors, centred around a spacious open plan lounge, dining, and kitchen area located on the ground floor, with access to the rear courtyard. Flexible sleeping arrangements include a king size bedroom and a bedroom with full-size bunk beds on the ground floor, alongside a shower room with WC and a separate wet room with WC, and a double sofa bed in the lounge (sleeping 2 guests). The lower-ground floor hosts a double bedroom, which enjoys the use of a family shower room with a hydrotherapy steam shower. The second apartment, reached via an internal staircase, spans the first and second floors. On the first floor, there are three king size bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, plus a family shower room with a hydrotherapy steam shower. The second floor forms an impressive social hub, with a large open plan living space featuring Italian leather seating, which incorporates two king size sofa beds. The space is also home to a high spec kitchen and dining area finished with solid oak cabinetry, granite work surfaces, and quality stainless steel appliances.

Outside, guests can enjoy two distinct private outdoor spaces, each offering its own sense of indulgence. The secluded rear courtyard provides a peaceful urban retreat with patio seating and a large Canadian style hot tub, ideal for unwinding after a day exploring the city. Above the second floor, the illuminated roof terrace offers a romantic setting furnished with rattan daybed seating and a private three person lounger hot tub overlooking Chester’s rooftops. There is one private, reserved parking space available. Additional parking is available at a pay and display car park approximately 0.5 miles away.
