Edgar House sits in the heart of Chester, Cheshire, perched on the ancient Roman Walls with breathtaking views over the River Dee and weir. This luxurious holiday home enjoys an unbeatable central location, with bars, restaurants, cafés, shops, the famous racecourse and Grosvenor Park all just a short stroll away—making it the ideal base for a self-catering break for up to 16 guests.
Inside, the property combines elegant traditional features with bold contemporary design. The beautifully furnished open-plan living space is perfect for gathering together, complete with a Smart TV and Bluetooth surround sound for evening entertainment, while the designated chef makes full use of the high-quality kitchen appliances.
Step outside to the stunning garden patio—described by travel writer Alistair Sawday as “Chester’s equivalent of the Royal Box”—and enjoy alfresco dining or drinks while listening to the gentle flow of the river below. Afterwards, retreat to the cinema room for a movie night on the large Smart TV, or head to the games room, equipped with a Bluetooth jukebox, darts and table football. For quieter moments, the cosy library/snug offers the perfect space to curl up with a good book.
When it’s time to rest, seven well-presented en-suite bedrooms across two floors accommodate up to 16 guests. Three rooms offer super-king-size beds, while four feature zip/link beds for added flexibility. The family room also benefits from its own private lounge with a double sofa bed and a freestanding copper bath—ideal for anyone seeking extra privacy.
Chester, often called “the jewel of the North West,” is rich in history, boasting Roman walls, medieval buildings, Georgian townhouses and modern architecture. Enjoy superb shopping in the famous Tudor Rows, walk the historic walls, stroll beside the River Dee or relax in Grosvenor Park. Nearby attractions include Chester Racecourse, Chester Zoo and the magnificent cathedral.
