A bright two-bedroom third-floor apartment in a modern riverside development, offered as a 50% shared ownership opportunity aimed at those getting onto the housing ladder. The open-plan living/kitchen with French doors and Juliet balcony brings daylight and views towards Chester Racecourse and the River Dee. Allocated off-street parking and communal grounds add practical convenience close to the city centre.
The flat is double glazed with electric heating and comes with built-in storage and an intercom entry system. The layout is straightforward and efficient — two good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom — making it well suited to first-time buyers or buyers looking to downsize without losing proximity to shops, transport and local leisure facilities.
Important practical points: the tenure is leasehold with around 81 years remaining and this sale is for a 50% share with Muir Housing Group involvement; staircasing to 100% is reportedly possible but subject to approval. The service charge and rent combined are significant (circa £428.57pcm / £5,142.84pa) which should be factored into monthly costs, and the property uses electric heating rather than gas, affecting running costs and mortgage availability for some lenders.
In short, this is a sensible, low-maintenance riverside apartment offering an affordable entry route into Chester, provided buyers accept shared ownership conditions, the service charge level, and electric heating as part of ongoing costs.
