About

Lache is a residential suburb of Chester in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester, sitting roughly two miles south‑west of the city centre. The area was developed mainly as a housing estate in the mid‑20th century and now contains a mix of council and privately owned homes. Local facilities are concentrated along Lache Lane, where a small parade of shops and a community centre provide daily services. Green space at Lache Park includes football pitches and open grassland used for weekend sport and allotments nearby, and a primary school serves the neighbourhood. A regular street pattern of short roads and crescents gives the estate clear legibility for residents and visitors.

Transport links are local bus services connecting directly to Chester city centre and onward routes across Cheshire West and Chester. Community groups and school activities contribute to a local calendar of events, and the proximity to the city means residents can reach city amenities without long journeys. For people looking for a compact suburban area with nearby open space and routine local services, Lache offers those practical features.
