Summary - 156 APARTMENT 29 FOREGATE STREET CHESTER CH1 1HJ
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Bright two-bedroom home close to shops, transport and parkland.
Large private balcony overlooking Grosvenor Park
Set on the edge of Grosvenor Park, this two-bedroom apartment offers easy city-centre living with a leafy outlook. The large private balcony, accessed from the living room and both bedrooms, is a standout feature for morning coffee or outdoor entertaining. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite; the lounge/diner and optional open-plan kitchen give flexible living arrangements.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, lift access and secure intercom entry. The property is leasehold with 124 years remaining and sits in a relatively modern development (post-2007) with double glazing. At 774 sq ft the layout is comfortably sized for a couple or small family and could appeal to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking central location and park views.
Buyers should note several material points: the home relies on electric storage heaters (higher running costs than gas), annual service charge including ground rent is £2,366.40, and council tax sits above average (Band E). The immediate area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with a higher local crime rate and wider area social deprivation indicators, which may affect long-term rental yields or resale preferences for some purchasers.
Overall, the flat presents straightforward, move-in condition accommodation in a desirable central position overlooking green space. It suits buyers who prioritise location, outdoor space and low-maintenance living, but those sensitive to running costs, service charges or local crime indicators should factor these into their decision.
