“outstanding” by Ofsted in 2014. Local independent schools include King’s and
Queen’s Schools in Chester and Abbey Gate College in Saighton. Littleton Hall

the A55 within half a mile connecting to the M53, M56 and M6 motorway
networks. Chester railway station offers a direct service to London, Euston
within 2 hours.


The Property
The property forms part of the redevelopment of an imposing Georgian Hall,
believed to date circa 1784, once owned by the Dixon Family of Littleton
(timber merchants and founders of the first bank in Chester, Dixon and Chilton
Bank). The hall was converted into four properties circa 1972. The property is
set within approximately 3 acres of established gardens of which a portion, to
the east of the apartment, is for use by this property, on a communal basis


Accommodation
An imposing entrance with panelled front door gives access to a handsome oak
staircase with wall - panelling, which rises to the apartment, at first floor
level. At the heart of the property is a well - proportioned dining hall with a
high plaster coved ceiling, which features throughout the apartment, providing
space for a large dining table. Occupying the northern wing of the apartment
is a grand drawing room with treble aspects across the gardens and features an
ornate open cast - iron fireplace with slate hearth. The room enjoys many
features including dado rails, ceiling roses, picture rails and some
decorative wall panelling.


At the opposite end of the reception hall is the kitchen with space for a
breakfast table. The kitchen is fitted with a range of hand - painted shaker
style cabinets with tile work surfaces. The focal point of the kitchen is a
Lacanche range cooker with extractor hood. The kitchen features a Belfast
sink, integral fridge and freezer and space for a washing machine. A door off
the kitchen leads down a spiral staircase, providing secondary access, to the
front of the property.


The principal bedroom features a cast - iron open basket fireplace within an
ornate marble surround and benefits from wonderful views across the paddock to
the rear, owned by the residents. This bedroom enjoys a link to a neighbouring
double bedroom which features a three - bay window, also having wonderful views.
There are two further bedrooms, served by a family bathroom along with a
separate WC.


Grounds and Gardens
The property is approached through an imposing gated entrance with twin ornate
iron gates opening onto a sweeping gravel driveway which gives access to the
front of the property, in addition to twin garages providing additional
parking and storage.


Whilst Littleton Hall sits in mature and private gardens, the gardens belong
to the ground floor apartment but Apartment 2 benefits from communal use of
the front, east facing lawns.


Beyond the western boundary of Littleton Hall is a large single paddock,
extending to approximately 7 acres (not measures). This property has a 13. 3%
share of the land, which was purchased by the owners of Littleton Hall, to
ensure the land was never developed.
