Step inside grand £1.65m Italian townhouse on the banks of the River Dee

Bringing some Italian flavour to Chester, this mansion on the banks of the River Dee could be yours for £1.65m.

Boasting glorious views over the Meadows, the six-bedroom Victorian home is also grade II-listed.

But if you are a modest owner it is also well hidden despite being right next to the A51 in Boughton.

Built in the Italianate style, the property harks back to the stunning 16th-century Renaissance architecture.

Step inside the front double doors and straight into the grand reception hall - marble fireplaces, spiral staircases and tiled floors only add to the appeal.

Much of the original interior design has been kept with flamboyant decor and chandeliers in every room.

Other rooms, including the kitchen and dining area, have been modernised completely to stick with the times.

Out on the rear terrace is the perfect hosting spot, the spectacular view looks down on the Dee, with private access too, and across the expanse of the Meadows.

Estate agent Savills have listed the Sandown Terrace home on Rightmove for £1.65m.
