A well-located two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Chester, offered 50% on a shared ownership basis with Muir Group. The flat has an open-plan kitchen/living area with a Juliette balcony that brings good natural light, allocated off-street parking and the rare benefit of no onward chain. Its compact 523 sq ft footprint makes it suitable for first-time buyers or buyers looking to downsize to city-centre living.
The property is a blank canvas ready for personalisation. Heating was installed around 2008 (all-electric system noted, with a boiler in a dedicated cupboard) and the kitchen and finishes will benefit from updating to meet contemporary standards. Leasehold details: 99-year term from 18 December 2007 (approximately 86 years remaining) and a current combined monthly rent/service charge of £384.86 for the 50% share. Buyers should factor these ongoing costs into affordability calculations.
Location is the standout asset: adjacent to Chester Racecourse and a short walk to the high street, Storyhouse Theatre, the river and local shops, bars and restaurants. For commute and connectivity the flat scores well — excellent mobile signal and fast broadband are reported. Local area is described as cosmopolitan student neighbourhoods and the wider area has pockets of deprivation; buyers should expect a lively, mixed city-centre environment.
Important purchase considerations: this is shared ownership with local-connection eligibility requirements unless buying 100% and Muir Group approval is required for purchasers and mortgages. The apartment is chain-free and practical for a quick move, but buyers should arrange professional checks on services, lease details, and confirm heating and meter arrangements prior to exchange.
