Summary - 87 GARDEN LANE CHESTER CH1 4EW
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Two-bedroom period terrace near Chester University — great rental potential, needs some updating..
Victorian mid-terrace close to Chester city centre and university
Set on Garden Lane in Chester’s popular Garden Quarter, this Victorian mid-terrace sits a short walk from the city centre and Chester University. The property offers two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a compact kitchen, plus an enclosed rear yard with rear car-park access for off-street parking. Period features include high ceilings, wooden floors and a fireplace, while double glazing and gas central heating provide practical modern comforts.
The house has clear buy-to-let appeal for students or professionals given its location and room sizes. Bedroom one has been sub-divided by a stud wall to create a dressing room; this is reversible if a purchaser prefers the original layout. At about 792 sq ft the accommodation is average-sized and the small enclosed yard is low-maintenance but not a garden.
This freehold property is ready for occupation but offers scope for updating: the kitchen and bathroom are compact and would benefit from modernisation to maximise rental or resale value. The surrounding area is classified as deprived, though the neighbourhood is cosmopolitan, with low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for students and remote workers.
Overall, the house suits an investor targeting Chester’s rental market or a professional seeking central convenience. Buyers wanting outdoor space or larger plots should note the small plot size and enclosed rear yard layout.
