A well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment in a modern purpose-built block, a short walk from Chester city centre. The open-plan lounge/kitchen creates a bright, social living space with room for dining and relaxing; large windows bring plenty of natural light. Two double bedrooms both include built-in wardrobes, and the bathroom offers a three-piece suite with a heated towel rail.
Practical details suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors: 711 sq ft (66.1 sq m), 125 years remaining on the lease, allocated off-street parking and no flood risk. The building dates from the early 2000s and appears well maintained externally; communal grounds are modest and there’s no private garden. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent.
Be aware of ongoing costs and some efficiency limitations: the property is leasehold with a service charge of about £1,800pa and ground rent of £72pa. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal central system and the glazing install date is unknown, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated alternatives. The area has lower relative income levels but benefits from strong transport links, nearby parks, and local amenities.
Overall this apartment offers a straightforward, tidy home or rental opportunity close to the centre of Chester. It requires little more than cosmetic updating for personalised finishes, but buyers seeking lower running costs or a private garden should note the electric heating and lack of outside space.
