Rare redevelopment lot with planning for 17 bedrooms and a fitted bar.
Freehold former Georgian pub, prominent corner location
A rare freehold opportunity in central Chester: a substantial former Georgian public house with 14,521 sq ft and a fully fitted ground-floor bar. The property occupies a prominent corner position close to transport, retail and leisure amenities, and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for short-stay or serviced accommodation operations.
Planning permission exists to convert the upper floors into 17 bedrooms, creating strong redevelopment potential for an investor or operator targeting city-centre visitor demand. Major positives include large floorplates, high ceilings, arched windows and retained period character that will appeal to guests and diners once refurbished.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the building requires significant refurbishment and is described as a derelict fixer-upper. The EPC is rated G, walls are presumed uninsulated, and some fabric and services upgrading will be needed. The site sits in a high-crime, high-deprivation area, which could affect lettings and operating costs. VAT is payable in addition to the sale price. These factors are priced into the asking figure and suit a buyer prepared to invest in renovation and active management.
