Read the full agent description

Set within the private gated development of Lancaster Square, just off Volunteer Street, this impressive two-bedroom townhouse offers spacious and distinctive accommodation in the heart of Chester. Arranged over three floors, it also benefits from two allocated parking spaces, a particularly valuable feature in such a central location.

The property has its own private entrance, with stairs leading to the bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom is a generous double with attractive views across mature trees and Chester's historic architecture, together with its own en-suite shower room.

Bedroom two is another good-sized double, currently fitted with substantial wardrobe storage. A separate family bathroom serves this floor, cleverly designed with the bath extending beneath the staircase.

The top floor is the highlight of the home. A superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living space takes full advantage of the elevated position, with a large skylight and Juliet balconies bringing in plenty of natural light. There are far-reaching views beyond the city, with Peckforton Castle and Beeston Castle visible in the distance.

The contemporary kitchen incorporates a breakfast bar and flows naturally into generous dining and seating areas. A separate WC and utility cupboard, housing the washing machine and hot-water system, add further practicality.

Lancaster Square is ideally placed for city living, with Chester's shops, restaurants, cafés and historic attractions all within easy walking distance. The combination of a secure gated setting, two parking spaces and a spacious reverse-level layout makes this an excellent city-centre home.

The property is Leasehold, with a 999‑year term. The Council Tax Band is E, with a ground rent of £250 per year (reviewed every ten years) and a service charge of £1,200 per annum contributing to the upkeep of communal areas and the secure parking facilities. Leasehold has recently been given permission to be used as AIR BNB
