General overview
If I'm honest, my house is a very normal house in a very normal street. It's not historic, or quirky, or grand, but it's comfortable, cosy, clean and perfectly located to explore Chester and the North West of England and North Wales.
The space
The house is a typical 1950's semi-detached three-bedroomed house (only two are available for exchange as I use the third as my office).
Both bedrooms have king-sized beds, and enough floor space for a travel cot or inflatable single mattress.
I don't have little people in my life any longer, so am not equipped with highchairs, stair-gates or toys etc. Other than that the house is fairly child-friendly though.
The sofa in the garden room can be made up into an extra bed if required.
There is off-road parking for one car, with extra space available on the road for additional vehicles.
Guest access
Unfortunately the house isn't really suited to anyone with mobility issues. There is a single step to each entrance, and a full flight of stairs to the bedrooms. There is no downstairs toilet. Sorry!
Notes
Although the house is well equipped with pretty much everything you would need for your stay, something I don't have is a dining table. It's a "teas on knees" kind of house, which I appreciate isn't for everyone. With so many fantastic eateries in Chester though, who wants to be bothered cooking when they're away from home?!

Neighbourhood
The house is in a quiet suburban area, with children's play areas and local convenience stores.
A 20 minute walk takes you into Hoole, which has a lovely selection of cafes, bars, restaurants and local shops.
Going slightly further afield, it is just two miles to the centre of the historic city of Chester (which is fast becoming a foodie's dream), the famous Chester Zoo, and the A55 - which takes you directly into North Wales with it's wonderful coastline, mountains and picturesque scenery.
Five miles gets you to the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet shopping centre, where there is also a cinema complex, ten pin bowling, and numerous eateries.
A 30 minute drive will get you to Liverpool City Centre - with it's Beatles heritage, famous waterfront and fantastic shopping mall.
And within an hour you can be in the centre of Manchester City, Delamere Forest, Knowsley Safari Park, Tatton Park or any number of other places of interest.
Getting to my home
Just a mile from the M53, with it's links to the M56 / M6 north and south, car is definitely the easiest way to get here.
If you prefer train, both Bache and Chester stations are a 1.5 mile walk. Taxis are available at Chester station, but not Bache.
Nearest airport
Both Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Manchester Airport are roughly a half hour drive.
Getting around
A car is definitely the easiest way to travel around here, although buses are also an option.
By foot it is one mile into Hoole, or two miles into Chester city centre or to Chester Zoo.

Sue & Dave are fabulous guests: easy and fun to communicate with, responsive and very organised. They treated our home with great respect and left it in perfect condition, probably even a little cleaner than we left it for them! I have no hesitation in recommending them as exchangers. -
Thanks for all your recommendations and information, all so helpful. They are just the perfect guests, are kind and generous, and left our home clean and tidy. We really hope to welcome them back sometime, -
Sue and Dave were perfect swappers. Everything was in excellent shape when we got back and our two cats seemed very relaxed. They sent us a reassuring photo of the cats too, during their stay. Communication throughout was excellent with them too -- we had a zoom call to sort out a few things -- really useful. We highly recommend swapping with Sue and Dave! -
Dave and Sue left our house immaculate and tidy. We wouldn't have known they had been in!
