This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits on Robinson Way with a balcony overlooking the canal, offering bright, contemporary living in the heart of Chester. The open-plan lounge/kitchen has fitted appliances and good natural light; a large double bedroom, bathroom and useful storage cupboard complete the layout. At 492 sq ft the apartment is a comfortable size for a single occupant or couple.
The building is a converted industrial development mixing brick and modern cladding, creating a characterful riverside setting opposite Waitrose and a short walk to Chester city centre and the train station. Resident off-street parking and proximity to bars, restaurants and local services add everyday convenience, while excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suit remote working.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the flat is leasehold with about 94 years remaining, a service charge of £772 (below average) and ground rent at £384 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property runs on electric supply—this can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
The surrounding area scores as deprived with very high recorded crime and a local profile of student and migrant-family neighbourhoods. These factors affect suitability depending on buyer priorities; the flat will particularly suit first-time buyers or investors seeking central location, rental demand and low council tax, but less so those seeking a quiet suburban setting.
Overall this is a modern, well-presented city-centre apartment with canal views and commuter-friendly location. It offers clear short-term rental or owner-occupation potential, provided buyers are comfortable with the leasehold status, electric heating and local area characteristics.
