Bright, newly renovated two-bedroom first-floor apartment in the Shot Tower canalside development, finished to an immaculate standard. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area opens onto a private balcony with canal and shot tower views, creating a relaxed city-edge feel. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite; a second double bedroom and main bathroom complete the layout. At around 655 sq ft, the layout is compact but well planned for modern living.
Practical positives include secure underground parking (garage), lift access, a useful store off the hallway and a 3D virtual tour for initial viewing. The location is convenient: a short walk to Chester city centre, the station, Waitrose, cafes and parkland. With 125 years remaining on the lease and no onward chain, the property is ready to move into or let out quickly.
Buyers should note material considerations: this is a leasehold flat with an annual service charge (approx. £1, (monthly advertised £198) / year shown as £2,376) and ground rent/buildings insurance included; confirm exact costs before offer. The property sits within an area described as deprived and recorded crime levels are very high locally — factor in security and insurance implications. The apartment is suitable for first-time buyers and investors seeking a low-maintenance canalside home, but buyers prioritising a very low-crime neighbourhood or rural setting should look elsewhere.
Overall this is a tidy, contemporary apartment offering easy city access, private parking and attractive canal-side living. It will suit buyers wanting an immediately habitable city-base or landlords targeting strong rental demand close to transport and amenities, provided they accept the local area challenges and ongoing service charges.
