About the property

The Red House is based just seconds from the heart of Chester city centre, based in the northwest of England and just two miles from the border to Wales. Our Grade II listed 19th century warehouse sits on one of the most sought after cobbled streets within the Roman walls and is surrounded by listed buildings steeped in history and full of character. The heart of the city centre is a mere 20 second casual stroll from your front door, and yet its location is very quiet.

With a dedicated parking space, our two-bed warehouse is a perfect base to explore the city centre and surrounding areas, and suits single travels, couples or families and friends.

Original beams, brickwork and flooring

The Red House, as it is known locally, is a quirky three storey, Grade II listed warehouse, bringing a fusion of 19th century charm with contemporary cool finish following a recent renovation; this urban space was used as a warehouse, purportedly as a drinking house, and now as a place to rest and play within the city walls.

This beautiful property includes on its top floor, two large bedrooms; the master bedroom has a super king bed with exposed brickwork and original beams. The second bedroom has a double bed with exposed brickwork, original beams and some of the pulley mechanism dating back to the 19th century.

Both bedrooms have ample storage space and high ceilings and share the top floor bathroom, where you will find a stand alone bathtub and separate shower, w/c and basin.

On the middle floor, you will find a large lounge housing two upholstered velvet sofas, large plasma smart TV, exposed brick wall with original painting still visible and a newly added mirrored wall. There is also a collection of books for your reading pleasure, a lounge area for children with their own bean bags and a selection of toys including a teepee to keep them entertained.

On the ground floor there is an open plan kitchen diner with wooden panelling and brick work, original beams home to various 19th century nuts, bolts and hooks.  The dining area has seating for 4 with ample space for the highchair if needed.

Also, on the ground floor you will find a w/c and cloakroom.

The Red House, whilst not benefitting from any outside living space, has got the city on it's doorstep. The beautiful Grosvenor Park, River Dee, our famous Roman amphitheatre and gardens are all less than a 5 minute walk from the house.

At the rear of the property you find a convenient parking space for one car, which is included when staying at The Red House, right in the heart of the city.

As with our other holiday homes, for younger guests we provide a high chair, potty, baby bath, change mat, travel cot, books, toys and children’s dining tableware. All are available if needed at the house.

Given that The Red House is situated on a quiet residential street, we ask all guests to be mindful of noise levels during their stay with us and to be respectful to our wonderful neighbours.

There is no pavement outside the front door of The Red House, so you step out onto the cobbled street.

The house is across 3 floors so may not suit anyone with mobility issues.

The Red House is a smoke and vape free home.

Our parking space is for your use during your stay between the allotted check-in/out times, as our housekeeper requires the space for changeovers.

The Red House is also a pet free home.
