A Guide For Those Seeking New Homes in Chester

Welcome to New Homes Chester, the website which aims to provide invaluable information for people searching for new homes in Chester.

The Roman city of Chester is located on the banks of the River Dee in the county of Cheshire. Granted city status in 1541, Chester is home to growing population of 77,000, meaning there is a growing demand for new homes in Cheshire. Chester is also close to the borders of Wales and is one of the largest settlements in Cheshire.

Originally a Roman Fort, Chester developed to become a major Roman settlement back in the Roman era. Later on it became better known as a medieval city where its boundaries were marked by a surrounding city wall. The city walls can still be seen today and are the most complete city walls remaining in Britain and stretch for a total of two miles. 

The most famous and visited Chester property has to be Chester Cathedral. Formally known as St. Werburgh’s Abbey, Chester cathedral is now a shrine to the Patron Saint of Chester, Werburgh, who is buried inside the cathedral.

Another popular Chester property is the Grosvenor Museum, which is home to a collection of Roman Tombstones and an art gallery. Chester Town Hall is another widely visited Chester property, due to its gothic revival style, tower and short spire.

History is not the only thing Chester has to offer, as it is also the home to Chester Football club, who play at the Devas Stadium and Chester Rugby Club. If horse racing is more your sport, Chester has one of the most beautiful courses in the country and annually hosts the famous Epsom Derby. If you prefer the nature then maybe try heading to Chester Zoo, which is home to the UK’s largest zoological gardens
