Old Bishop's Palace, Chester, Georgian palace in Chester, England.
The Old Bishop's Palace stands in an elevated position near the River Dee, featuring red brick construction with stone dressings and grey slate roofs.
Samuel Peploe commissioned the residence in the 1730s, and upon completion in 1751, it became one of the earliest Georgian buildings in Chester.
The interior contains significant architectural elements, including an open-well staircase with six flights and turned balusters, replacing an earlier Chinese Chippendale design.
The property functions as an exclusive-use venue with 23 bedrooms, offering spaces for celebrations and events that can accommodate up to 150 guests.
The palace includes a private garden terrace with an outdoor kitchen and allows arrivals by boat through its riverside location.
