Summary - 4 DUKE STREET CHESTER CH1 1RP
4 bed 3 bath Town House
Characterful five-storey Georgian home near the river, parking and city amenities.
Georgian mid-terraced townhouse with original period features
This Georgian mid-terraced townhouse on Duke Street offers classic 18th-century character across five storeys, including a sandstone-hewn basement and high ceilings. Thoughtful period details — wood panelling, original fireplaces, parquet floors and large sash windows — create rich living spaces while providing scope to personalise throughout. The property is freehold and ready to occupy, with versatile rooms that suit family life or a city-centre professional household.
Layout and flow are practical: three reception rooms, a conservatory/dining room, basement workspace and four bedrooms served by two full bathrooms and a ground-floor shower room. Allocated off-street parking for one vehicle and secure gated access to a shared rear courtyard are notable for a central Chester address. The location places shops, restaurants, the river and several well-regarded schools within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note material facts plainly. The house is small in overall plot size and sits in a higher-crime, more deprived city-centre ward; purchasers may wish to review local safety and security measures. The property has solid-brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation and an EPC rating of D, so energy-efficiency improvements would be advisable. Some cosmetic updating and modernisation may be desired to fully realise the home’s potential.
For families seeking a central, characterful home or investors targeting strong rental demand near the university and city amenities, this townhouse offers immediate charm and clear scope for value-adding works. Its combination of period features, generous internal volume for its footprint, and central convenience make it a practical purchase with refurbishment upside.
