Four things worth deciding before you view anything

Start with the week, not the weekend

Most families choose a home on how it feels on a Sunday, then live in it on a Tuesday. Walk the school run before you offer. Time the station. Find out where the bins go and where wet coats dry.

Huntington sits inside the Chester catchment for several strong primaries and secondaries, and the city itself is eight minutes by car, which is why so many of our buyers are families moving out of the centre rather than into it.

Room to grow

A fourth bedroom is rarely a fourth bedroom for long. It becomes a study, then a nursery, then a study again. We design flexible snugs and generous landings for exactly that reason, and every home has a utility room so the kitchen never becomes the laundry.

Test the commute

From Old Hall it is fifteen minutes to the M53, forty to Liverpool and just over an hour to Manchester. Drive it once at eight in the morning before you decide.
