Set within the four-and-a-half-acre grounds of Boughton Hall, Apartment 22 is a ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement home offering independent living with 24-hour on-site staff and no onward chain. The apartment sits in a peaceful corner of the development with a private patio overlooking formal gardens — ideal for quiet outdoor moments without garden maintenance.
Internally the layout is practical and move-in ready. A modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances serves the open-plan living/dining room, which benefits from dual-aspect windows and French doors. The principal bedroom includes floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower; a second double bedroom and a main bathroom complete the accommodation at about 889 sq ft.
Residents enjoy extensive communal facilities in the restored Grade II listed Hall: lounge/bar, restaurant, library, salon, gym and hobbies rooms — useful for social life and on-site convenience. The setting is close to local shops, medical centre and under a mile from Chester city centre, making errands and leisure easy.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property for over-55s. Practical considerations include electric room heaters (no communal gas heating), slow fixed broadband speeds reported locally, a ground rent of £350 and approximately 109 years remaining on the lease. The freeholder charges a Deferred Development Payment on sale or departure (3–5% depending on occupancy length) plus a Sales Administration Fee (1.8% including VAT). The Hall’s listed status may restrict alterations and could complicate certain works.
