A substantial Victorian semi-detached property on Liverpool Road, offered chain-free and with strong rental or redevelopment potential close to the city centre and university. The house spans four floors including a basement and loft conversion, giving flexible space for reconfiguration or reinstating an HMO layout.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: plumbing, electrics and finishes will need updating and the rear garden and basement are currently unmaintained. The top-floor bedroom has reduced headroom and there are signs the house has solid brick walls with no insulation, so energy improvements will be needed to meet modern standards.
For investors or developers, the location in a student-communal neighbourhood and proximity to transport links make this a practical refurbishment or rental conversion prospect (subject to planning). The freehold, no-flood-risk and off-street parking for one car add practical benefits alongside good mobile and broadband connectivity.
Budget-conscious buyers should factor renovation costs, potential planning requirements for change of use or reconfiguration, and the small plot size. When renovated, the property offers scope to add value in a strong rental market close to Chester city centre.
