This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment on Blacon Point Road offers a straightforward, affordable entry into homeownership. The layout includes separate living and dining rooms, a modern kitchen and bathroom, and French doors that open onto a private lawned side garden — a rare outdoor space for a flat. The interior has been newly recarpeted and the boiler provides gas central heating, so the home is ready to occupy with minimal immediate work.
Practical running costs are clear: the lease has about 90–91 years remaining, ground rent is £10 per year and the service charge is £108.95 per month (approx. £1,306.80 annually). Council tax is very inexpensive. The property is chain free, making a quicker completion possible for a first-time buyer or someone downsizing.
Buyers should note the location realities: the local area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime levels. Parking is on-street only, and while the apartment has double glazing and a filled cavity wall, the building dates from the late 1960s–1970s and future maintenance or upgrades may be needed. Overall, this is a pragmatic, budget-friendly two-bedroom with outdoor space and low immediate refurbishment needs, best suited to first-time buyers seeking value and easy access to Chester.
