Chester, the walled Roman city, a cultural crook along the elbow of the River Dee. From Cathedral to the covered walkways of the Rows, proud home to England’s oldest racecourse, the Roodee. The Meadows, the Grosvenor, the amphitheatre and the cobbles. Amidst all of this, are the unique homes, that make Chester so architecturally special.

In the pages within, we’ve encapsulated 25 of Chester’s distinctive homes, each recognised in its own unique way – some bigger, some smaller, some rich in history, and others new builds, making their debut on the scene – to share with you the profound emotional attachment these owners hold to their homes, as they journey for a time with the house, becoming a part of its process of evolution.
