A substantial Grade II listed Georgian office building in Chester city centre, offered freehold with an overall size of about 7,700 sq ft. The handsome red-brick façade, high ceilings and large open-plan floorplate give strong appeal to professional occupiers or a developer converting to multiple suites. Secure basement parking for c.4–5 vehicles is a notable city-centre asset.
The property is sold as a listed building (mid-18th century origin with a c.1975 rear extension), so any alterations will need listed-building consent and may increase refurbishment costs. The internal accommodation is largely open plan with some non-structural partitions; the condition and specification of the fit-out should be inspected and factored into budgets. The EPC is C-69 and the rateable value is £63,500 (rates payable around £33,000), both material when assessing running costs or rental return.
Location is a strength: prominent town-centre position with immediate pedestrian access, good mobile signal, nearby amenities and transport links. Weaknesses include very slow broadband on record, a high local crime score and the wider area’s higher deprivation metrics — factors to consider for some occupier types. Tenure details are not specified in the particulars and should be confirmed.
This asset suits investors seeking a prominent city-centre freehold office with stable footprint and parking, or an occupier looking for a large single HQ-style space. Conservation constraints, running costs, and potential refurbishment needs mean it’s best viewed by buyers prepared to manage listed-building works and central-city operating expenses.
