About this home

A spacious and beautifully appointed three-bedroom duplex apartment set within an elegant period conversion on Kings Street in the heart of Chester city centre with allocated parking.

Description - Occupying the top floor of the distinguished Mayor’s House, Kings Buildings, this elegant second-floor penthouse apartment forms part of a handsome period building in one of Chester's most sought-after city centre locations.

Constructed in traditional red brick with attractive Georgian-style elevations, the building is rich in character featuring tall sash-style windows, decorative detailing and an impressive communal entrance reflecting the heritage of this historic quarter of the city. The apartment enjoys excellent natural light, privacy and the benefit of an allocated off-road parking space.

Accessed via elegant and well-maintained communal areas, the apartment opens into a reception hall leading to a substantial open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Flooded with natural light from multiple sash-style windows, this impressive room provides an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. The stylish kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry, granite worktops, a central island with breakfast bar, and integrated appliances including a Neff hob, oven, microwave and Bosch dishwasher.

The accommodation further comprises a generous principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, a second double bedroom and a contemporary shower room. On the upper level is a third double bedroom, with separation from the main accommodation and offering an ideal guest suite or home office. Beyond the third bedroom is a substantial loft space with potential for future extension, subject to necessary planning permission. Residents also benefit from a communal utility room washing machine and dryer, and intercom entry system.

Situation - King Street is widely regarded as one of Chester’s most prestigious and characterful city centre addresses, situated within the city’s ancient Roman walls. Renowned for its cobbled streets, historic architecture and elegant streetscape, this sought-after location perfectly captures the charm and heritage for which Chester is celebrated.

Tucked away in a peaceful setting yet moments from the very heart of the city, the property enjoys an enviable position just a short stroll from the recently redeveloped Chester Market, a vibrant destination combining independent retailers, artisan food outlets, a cinema and a lively public square. Cultural landmarks including Storyhouse, Chester Cathedral and the historic Town Hall are all close by.

A superb selection of restaurants, cafés, wine bars and independent eateries can be found on the doorstep on Northgate Street, from the authentic Spanish tapas of Porta and the renowned French cuisine of Chez Jules to the stylish surroundings of Café Barbette and Plana Terra. Chester’s historic centre offers an exceptional blend of heritage and modern convenience, with boutique shopping along the iconic Rows, picturesque walks beside the River Dee, and an abundance of leisure and cultural amenities.

Chester Railway Station is approximately a 15-minute walk away and provides regular services to London Euston in two hours and Liverpool in under 45 minutes.
