Property description
With its curvaceous Georgian symmetry, nestled on the banks of the River Dee, Deva House is an iconic part of the Chester waterfront.
Iconic home
Just moments’ walk from Grosvenor Park, the city centre and with views out over the gentle flow of the river and the iconic Chester Queen’s Park bridge, live the city lifestyle so many aspire to, yet only the select few are fortunate enough to achieve, at Apartment 2, Deva House.
Grade II listed, Deva House keeps excellent company alongside the handful of exclusive and unique abodes along The Groves. Tucked behind wrought iron railings, and with a handsome pilastered entrance, Apartment 2, spanning the entire first floor of this historic building, enjoys private, gated access to the side.
With private parking to the rear, via electric gates, you can also access the communal entrance easily directly from the car, stepping into a rear communal lobby, where there is both lift and stair access up to the first floor.
Elegant features
Open the pillar box red front door, where a porch area allows for the doffing and donning of coats, before making your way into the broad and bright entrance hallway of Apartment 2. Airy and light, the elegant tiling underfoot and detailed plaster cornicing is reminiscent of the heritage of the home.
Storage is available in a deep cupboard to the left, perfect for shoes and coats, whilst across the hall, the large, period door opens to the impressive dining room.
Captivating views greet you upon entry, looking out over the River Dee. Crowned in elegant cornicing, this spacious and airy room also features an ornate ceiling rose, within which a crystal chandelier adds ambient lighting.
Light flows in through the full height, shuttered, sash window ahead, allowing you to savour the stunning views alongside your meal. Ideal for entertaining there is a formal flair about this room, softened by the light-toned carpet underfoot and crisp, classic shades of snowfall white to the walls.
Classic style comes with contemporary convenience, as a feature archway connects the dining room seamlessly with the sitting room beyond.
Savour the view
Abundantly sized and swimming in light, this imposing sitting room embodies the elegance of the Georgian era, with an impressive stone fireplace containing gas fire whilst the graceful bow windows capture the River Dee and iconic suspension bridge. Furnished with shutters, this room is classically timeless. Elevated above the river, sublime views come with the reassurance of privacy.
Reconnecting with the entrance hall, opposite the lounge, nestled privately away to the rear, discover the second bedroom, with plush champagne carpet underfoot. Tall sash windows invite a flow of light into this spacious double bedroom, whose decorative motif follows the classical palette seen throughout. With ample storage available in the fitted drawers and wardrobes, leafy views extend to the rear out over Grosvenor Park.
Refresh and revive in the ensuite, furnished with shower, chrome heated towel radiator, wash basin and WC. Hidden away within the fitted cabinets is the boiler alongside plumbing for a washer and dryer.
Feast your eyes
Across from the dining room lies the streamlined, contemporary kitchen, where glossy, handleless drawers and deep cupboard offer ample storage. Granite worktops feature an undermounted sink with an induction hob, extractor hood, and John Lewis oven. Beneath the large sash window, where leafy views extend out to Grosvenor Park at the rear, there is space for a breakfast bistro table.
Drift off to sleep
With soporific views out over the lapping waters of the River Dee through its shuttered and bountiful bow windows, settle down to sleep in the sumptuously sized master suite. Dressed in demure neutrals, this chic and sophisticated boudoir again showcases the delicate, detailed design features of Deva House in its ornate ceiling rose and high skirtings.
Served by a soothing ensuite with bath containing overhead shower, wash basin, fitted storage and WC, rest and refresh in peace and privacy.
