Situated just off Chester’s high street, this three-storey Victorian end-terrace offers genuine flexibility for investors or buyers seeking city-centre living. Currently arranged as two self-contained one-bed apartments with en suites, the layout suits dual-occupancy lettings or can be converted back into a single two-double-bedroom townhouse by removing an internal partition. Recent re-roofing, UPVC double glazing and mains gas central heating reduce immediate major repair costs.
Internally the ground floor flows from an entrance hall into a compact fitted kitchen and living area; the ground and top floors each feature a double bedroom with en suite shower. The top-floor bedroom benefits from under-eaves storage and good natural light. At about 723 sq ft overall, the accommodation is average sized for a city-centre property and presents sensible rental yield potential in a high-demand area.
Buyers should note material drawbacks frankly: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and the wider area is relatively deprived, which may affect tenant profiles and resale appetite. Broadband speeds are slow and the solid-brick walls appear uninsulated, so buyers should budget for improved connectivity and any insulation or energy-efficiency upgrades required to raise living standards and EPC.
Given its chain-free status, central location, and straightforward conversion potential, this property is best suited to investors seeking immediately rentable units or a buyer willing to refurbish into a comfortable city home. Permit on-street parking and proximity to shops, canals and local amenities add practical appeal, while any refurbishment should address insulation, connectivity and security considerations.
