Summary - 2 Albion Mews, Albion Street CH1 1RQ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious one-bedroom in the heart of Chester, ready to move into.
Allocated off-street parking space included
Set within Chester’s historic city walls, this one-bedroom apartment combines Gothic Revival character with a newly refreshed interior. The raised-ground-floor home opens to a generous open-plan living and kitchen space with hardwood floors, high windows and a breakfast bar — a rare, roomy one-bedroom in the city centre. The sale includes an allocated off-street parking space and access to a small communal garden, with no onward chain and a share of the freehold.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (approx. 987 years), recently modernised shower room, built-in bedroom storage, and a sizeable overall floor area that gives unusually generous proportions for a one-bedroom. The location is extremely convenient: walking distance to the railway and bus stations, shops, restaurants, Grosvenor Park and other city-centre amenities.
Buyers should note material negatives: heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack insulation, which can affect energy costs and comfort. The apartment sits in an area with very high recorded crime and higher local deprivation indicators. Service charge and small ground rent apply (approx. £1,200 p.a. service charge; £45 ground rent).
This property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking central living with character and long-term security via a share of freehold. It’s been modernised internally but still offers scope for personal updates to improve energy efficiency and aesthetics. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale and location within Chester’s walls.
