Summary - 24A CITY WALLS CHESTER CH1 1SB
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Directly on Chester’s Roman walls with riverside and Weir views
Turnkey let: currently successful Airbnb, suitable for short-term rental
Chain-free freehold; approximately 506 sq ft, compact layout
One bathroom only; best for couples or rental use
One parking space via Chester council permit (off-street)
EPC D; thermal upgrades/insulation likely needed (solid brick walls)
No flood risk; double glazing installed post-2002
Local area: high crime and deprivation indices — factor for lettings
Set directly on Chester’s historic Roman walls, this two-bedroom apartment is a turnkey income opportunity in a prime tourist location. The living room opens to riverside views over the Chester Weir and Old Dee Bridge, and the flat has been used successfully as an Airbnb, producing immediate rental potential with minimal work.
Practical features include freehold tenure, double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas heating, one allocated car parking space via Chester council permit, and no flood risk. The layout is compact (approximately 506 sq ft) with two well-lit bedrooms and a single contemporary bathroom—ideal for short-term lets or a lock-up-and-go city base.
Buyers should note the property’s small overall size and single bathroom, which limit family use but suit couples or holiday-rental guests. The building dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades could improve comfort and running costs. EPC rating D and the surrounding area’s high crime/deprivation indices are factual negatives investors should weigh against strong central location and lettings demand.
Offered chain-free and ready to continue as an income-producing asset, this apartment appeals to investors or buyers seeking an instant, manageable city-centre bolthole with exceptional historic character and riverside views.
