Latest house prices for Backford, Chester

Backford sits just a few miles north of Chester, positioned where the suburban edge of the city begins to give way to the more open landscape of the Wirral peninsula. It is a small, linear settlement centered around the A41, though much of its character is defined by the quieter lanes that branch off toward the 14th-century Church of St Oswald and the grounds of Backford Hall. Historically, the village was a stopping point on the old coaching route between Chester and Birkenhead; today, that legacy of connectivity remains its most practical feature. Residents are bolstered by easy access to the nearby Shropshire Union Canal for walking, as well as the proximity of the Greyhound Park and Cheshire Oaks for amenities, while the village itself retains a distinct, quiet identity separated from the bustle by a buffer of green belt land.
