Summary - 109 HIGHFIELD RISE CHESTER LE STREET DH3 3UY
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Compact, high-yield flat near transport links and good schools.
Chain free, executive development apartment
A compact, chain-free two-bedroom apartment in the executive Highfield Rise development, offered with a very long lease of 979 years and allocated off-street parking. The first-floor home has an open-plan lounge and modern kitchen with a range of white goods, plus an en-suite shower to the principal bedroom and built-in wardrobes. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support renters who work from home, while the A1 and nearby mainline station keep commuting straightforward.
This property sits in a comfortable, largely professional neighbourhood with good primary schools nearby and a range of local amenities. It is small (around 444 sq ft) so will suit couples, sharers or investors seeking a low-maintenance let rather than buyers needing extensive living space. The development’s intercom entry and contemporary build add appeal for tenants seeking convenience.
Notable negatives are the apartment’s modest overall size and the area’s above-average recorded crime; buyers should factor this into insurance and tenancy pricing. The property is leasehold (long lease remaining) and is offered chain free, making a quick purchase possible. Based on a likely rent of c. £695 pcm, the apartment can generate an attractive gross yield (around 9.3%), making it a clear investment opportunity for buy-to-let buyers.
