Well-presented apartment with secure parking near the city and station.
Canal-side position with Juliet balcony and double-aspect light
This two-bedroom apartment in Wharton Court occupies a convenient canal-side position within easy walking distance of Chester city centre and the main railway station. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen space benefits from French doors and a Juliet balcony that frame pleasant views across the Shropshire Union Canal, giving the apartment light and a sense of space.
The principal bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room; a second double bedroom and a separate bathroom complete the accommodation. Practical features include an internal utility cupboard, video intercom entry, double glazing and an allocated secure underground parking space.
The property is leasehold with c.127 years remaining, an annual service charge of approximately £1,463 and ground rent of £310 per year. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the apartment relies on electricity for main fuel; buyers should factor running costs into budgets. The area records higher-than-average crime levels and is classified as relatively deprived, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall this is a well-presented, average-sized two-bedroom apartment suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance home close to transport links and local amenities. The canal views, secure parking and proximity to shops are strengths; however, leasehold costs, electric heating and local crime statistics are material considerations for viewing and offer decisions.
