Set in the heart of Chester off the historic Rows, this one-bedroom apartment is a compact, well-presented city-centre bolthole currently operated as an Airbnb. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from contemporary white-gloss units, underlighting, and integrated appliances, while the bedroom retains period charm with a fireplace and sash windows with secondary glazing.
Practical features include an electronic locking system suited to short-let management, a sprinkler system covering lounge and kitchen areas, and a long lease (993 years). Low council tax (Band A) and no flood risk add running-cost advantages for an investor or someone seeking a low-maintenance city pied-à-terre.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold and additional fees (leasehold packs, admin) may apply. Heating is electric via room heaters, which can be more costly than gas in winter. The wider area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand outside the short-let market.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking ready-to-run short-let income or a central city base. Prospective purchasers should verify services, obtain independent surveys, and factor in management and safety compliance costs if continuing as an Airbnb.
