About this home

Occupying a distinctive position overlooking the historic Chester Racecourse, 25 Blackfriars House is a beautifully renovated three-storey home combining contemporary living, private gated parking and an enviable city-centre setting. Renovated throughout, the property has benefited from a new kitchen, new flooring, a new boiler and upgraded electrics, creating a refreshed, modern home with a practical layout and a truly distinctive outlook. Arranged across three floors, the accommodation offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the added convenience of access from both the ground and first floors. The ground floor comprises an entrance, the newly fitted kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom, offering flexibility for guests, family members or those seeking bedroom accommodation on the entrance level. The first floor provides the main living and dining spaces, with separate rooms creating an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. The living room enjoys views across Chester Racecourse, bringing an exceptional backdrop to the principal living space. Occupying the second floor, the principal bedroom offers a more private retreat, complete with its own en-suite bathroom and further views across the racecourse. Both bedrooms, along with the first-floor living room, benefit from this remarkable outlook, making the surrounding historic setting an integral part of the home. Outside, private parking behind a gated entrance is a particularly valuable feature for a property so conveniently positioned within Chester city centre. Offering dedicated off-road parking, it adds an element of practicality and convenience that can be difficult to find in such a central location. The property's setting is equally appealing. Chester Racecourse, known as the Roodee, is widely recognised as the oldest racecourse still operating on its original site, with racing having taken place here since 1539. Beyond the racecourse, the city offers an exceptional blend of history and contemporary lifestyle, from the distinctive medieval Rows and historic city walls to the independent shops, cafés, restaurants and bars found around Watergate Street and Bridge Street. The River Dee and its riverside walks are also within easy reach, providing an opportunity to enjoy the city beyond its bustling centre. An additional feature is the opportunity to acquire the existing limited company through which the property is owned. Established specifically for this property, the company holds no other properties, and the sellers are willing to include it in the sale should a purchaser wish to explore acquiring its shares. This may appeal to buyers considering a company-based ownership structure, subject to appropriate legal, financial and tax advice. Combining a comprehensive renovation, racecourse views from three principal rooms, private gated parking, flexible access and a highly convenient location, 25 Blackfriars House presents a distinctive opportunity to enjoy modern city living in one of Chester's most recognisable historic settings.
