Summary - 16 CHATTON CLOSE CHESTER LE STREET DH2 3HU
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Large south-facing garden, garage and long lease ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain free sale with no ground rent or service charges
Set on the first floor of a mid-20th-century semi-detached block, this two-bedroom apartment offers an unusually generous south-facing private garden, separate garage and off-street parking — rare extras for a flat. The layout is practical: bright lounge, modern kitchen with integrated hob and oven, two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom with large walk-in shower. The property is offered chain free with no ground rent or service charges, and a long 185-year lease.
The home suits first-time buyers seeking an easy, low-maintenance move or investors wanting a straightforward let in a peaceful, well-regarded suburb. The living spaces are neutrally presented and ready to occupy; features include double glazing, mains gas central heating and outdoor electric sockets in the garden. Local amenities, good primary schools and fast broadband make this a convenient base.
A few points to note: the total internal area is modest at approximately 540 sq ft, so storage and living space are limited compared with larger houses. The building was constructed mid-century and the external cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation — buyers may wish to consider future insulation improvements. Exact dates for the double glazing are unknown.
Overall, this flat offers a tidy, practical home with private garden and garage in a very low-crime, affluent neighbourhood. It represents sensible value for a buyer who prioritises outdoor space, parking and a long lease without ongoing service charges.
