Second-floor two-bedroom apartment with balcony overlooking the canal
Set on the second floor with a balcony overlooking the Shropshire Union Canal, this two-bedroom apartment offers bright, low-maintenance city living near Chester city centre and the train station. The open-plan living/kitchen area benefits from large windows and integrated appliances, creating a comfortable social space for everyday life or entertaining.
Practical conveniences include an en-suite to the main bedroom, an allocated undercroft parking space, and a lift to all floors. The building is modern (built 2003–2006) with double glazing and standard ceiling heights, so essential maintenance is minimal. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working and streaming.
Costs and tenure are straightforward: leasehold with 129 years remaining, annual service charge approximately £1,864 and ground rent £125 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Crime levels in the area are above average—worth noting for buyers prioritising security.
This apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a central, low-upkeep home or investors targeting student or rental demand in a cosmopolitan neighbourhood. The position by the canal and proximity to amenities give it consistent appeal, though budgets should allow for potentially higher energy bills and the ongoing service charge.
