6 Shipgate Street is a Grade II listed townhouse believed to date from 1840 with older foundations. The house is located in a pretty conservation area on a delightful cobbled street in the historic heart of Chester city centre. The property was purchased by the current owners in 2015 and they subsequently undertook a complete and comprehensive programme of renovation and refurbishment. The work undertaken includes but is not limited to restoring and replacing flooring, installation of a high quality Magnet kitchen and replacement bathrooms, boiler replacement. The attention to detail is meticulous and the quality of workmanship and materials used is first rate. The project has been undertaken with real attention to detail and the owners have been careful to retain the original character and features of the house whilst creating a home that is perfect for contemporary living.

Above the French doors is a very attractive stained glass panel depicting The Shipgate. The high quality Magnet kitchen is the heart of the house and has been very well thought out with larder cupboards, base units, storage drawers, central breakfast island with sink and storage cabinets, a range cooker, integrated appliances to include extractor fan and space for an American style fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is also a walk-in pantry. The vaulted ceiling has a large skylight adding to the sense of space and light.
