This chain-free, two-bedroom first-floor apartment in the gated Towergate complex offers a practical city-centre base with secure allocated parking and communal gardens. The open-plan living and dining area, fitted kitchen and built-in wardrobes in both bedrooms provide ready-to-live-in accommodation ideal for first-time buyers or investors wanting central access.
The property sits tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac near Chester’s City Walls, canal and River Dee, with shops, parks and public transport within easy walking distance. The apartment benefits from a very long lease (974 years), low crime levels and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working — while retaining period exterior character and a contemporary interior.
Buyers should note the apartment is on the first floor and reached by stairs only (no lift), which may limit accessibility. The development carries ongoing costs: a service charge of approximately £1,800 per year (£150 pcm) and a ground rent of £100 per year. Broadband speeds are reported slow in the area, and the wider neighbourhood is classified as relatively deprived, factors to consider for lifestyle and rental potential.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented central Chester flat with secure parking, long lease and good local amenities. It suits buyers seeking convenience and a straightforward move-in, or investors after a centrally located asset with modest running costs to factor in.
