Tudor House, Grade II* listed building in Chester, England
Tudor House sits on Lower Bridge Street with traditional timber-frame construction, sandstone walls, and a slate roof spanning four stories. The ground floor now contains a cafe while the upper levels serve as residential apartments.
A merchant commissioned this building in 1603, establishing it as one of the street's most distinctive timber structures. Major renovation in 1728 transformed an open ground-floor passage into enclosed space.
The building displays English residential design through its timber-framed upper levels, a Tudor arch entrance, and decorative mullioned windows across the facade. These features tell visitors how prosperous merchants organized their homes in this part of town.
The location sits easily in the town center and is walkable, with a cafe on the ground floor providing a natural entry point for visitors. The upper levels are private, so public engagement focuses on the lower floor and exterior architecture.
The entrance plaque displays the year 1503, but wood analysis testing proved this date is wrong by exactly one hundred years. This quirk remains a point of interest for those who notice the discrepancy.
