Victorian Character, Riverside Views and City Living Within Walking Distance, CH3 5BN

Uninterrupted views across the River Dee, the centre of Chester within walking distance and generous lateral living that places almost everything on one level, 1c Sandown Terrace offers a rare combination of city convenience and a wonderfully open outlook. Forming part of a Victorian building, this individual apartment offers an impressive sense of space, with a large living room, sociable kitchen and dining room, three flexible bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has its own en suite, while the third bedroom is currently arranged as an office, making the layout particularly adaptable. Outside, the communal south facing garden runs towards the river, while a garage and allocated parking take care of the practicalities. Waitrose sits directly opposite and, within around a 15 minute walk, there is access to Chester city centre, Hoole, The Meadows, Boughton, Chester railway station and the city's theatres and cinemas. It is that contrast that makes the setting so appealing, rural, uninterrupted river views from home with the energy and convenience of Chester just beyond the door. A Sense of Space Step inside and a generous central hallway immediately introduces the proportions of the apartment.

Built-in cupboards provide useful storage and allow the main rooms to remain uncluttered, while the arrangement creates a clear division between the living spaces and bedrooms. For those looking to simplify life without sacrificing elbow room, the predominantly single level layout is a particularly appealing quality. Room to Relax The living room is a substantial reception space with the proportions to accommodate generous seating while retaining a calm, open feel. A fireplace provides a natural focal point, but it is the scale of the room that gives it real versatility. There is space for larger gatherings, quieter reading corners and the furniture collected over years of family life, rather than having to compromise simply because the property is an apartment. Its separation from the kitchen and dining room also means there are distinct places to entertain and relax. Cook, Dine and Entertain The kitchen and dining room is one of the favourite spaces within the home and with good reason. Generous enough for a substantial dining table alongside the kitchen itself, it creates a sociable environment where cooking and entertaining can happen together without everything feeling compressed into one space. Granite style worktops provide extensive preparation space, complemented by integrated appliances including oven, hob, dishwasher and washing machine. LIFE AT 1C SANDOWN TERRACE: “We love the spacious kitchen and dining area for entertaining family and friends.” It is a room made for long dinners and easy conversation, somewhere guests can remain part of proceedings while food is prepared, rather than disappearing into a separate kitchen. Rest and Retreat The master bedroom is particularly impressive in scale, with fitted wardrobes providing useful storage and a private en-suite bathroom adding a sense of separation from the rest of the accommodation. A second double bedroom also incorporates fitted wardrobes and sits conveniently close to the main bathroom. The third bedroom is currently arranged as an office, creating a dedicated work from home space without compromising the principal reception rooms. Equally, it could return to use as a bedroom whenever required. Fitted wardrobes feature in all three bedrooms, adding another useful layer of storage. Refresh and Unwind The main bathroom is generously proportioned with a freestanding style bath which creates a natural focal point. The master en-suite provides a second bathroom, giving the apartment a practical arrangement for guests or households where more than one bathroom is important. Riverside Living The outlook is one of the defining reasons to choose 1c Sandown Terrace. To the rear, the communal south-facing garden backs onto the River Dee, creating an unexpectedly green setting for a home so close to Chester city centre. The garden is overlooked by the other apartments within the building, but its relationship with the river brings a completely different quality to the setting - open water, greenery and an outlook that feels far removed from the bustle of the city. LIFE AT 1C SANDOWN TERRACE: “The amazing view over the river and the proximity to the city centre were what drew us here.” It is this ability to enjoy a quieter riverside backdrop while remaining so connected to Chester that makes the location particularly distinctive. Parking and Practicality A garage provides secure parking or useful additional storage, complemented by allocated parking. The property has gas central heating, mains water and drainage, while good mobile coverage is available. 1c Sandown Terrace is held on a share of freehold basis and falls within Council Tax Band E. An annual service charge contributes towards building insurance, gardening and communal electricity, with the building managed through Sandown Terrace Management Company Limited. Buyers should confirm the current charge and management arrangements through their solicitor. Life Locally Riverside Chester with the City on the Doorstep Few locations manage to combine access to central Chester with an outlook as open as this. From Sandown Terrace, Chester city centre, Hoole village, The Meadows, Boughton's local shops, a doctor's surgery and Chester railway station can all be reached within around a 15-minute walk. Waitrose is directly opposite, making everyday shopping exceptionally convenient. A Walk? There is an enviable choice without needing to get into the car. Head out across The Meadows for riverside walking, follow Chester's historic City Walls or join the canal and continue towards Christleton. Each offers a different side of the city, from open green space to historic architecture and waterside routes. Everyday Essentials? With Waitrose directly opposite, picking up everyday essentials could hardly be easier. Boughton also provides a selection of local shops, while Chester city centre opens up a much broader choice of independent retailers and familiar names. A Local Pub? Harkers Arms beside the canal near City Road is a local favourite, while The Bluestone in Boughton provides another nearby option. A Bite to Eat? Living this close to Chester means dining out comes with an enviable amount of choice. City favourites include Artesian, Harkers Arms, Stile Napoletano and Chef's Table, while Hoole adds another excellent collection of independent restaurants, including Made in Italy and Sticky Walnut. Culture and Leisure? Theatres and cinemas can be reached in less than around ten minutes on foot, while several gyms and swimming pools are also nearby. For golf, Eaton Golf Club and other courses are accessible within a short drive. Schools? The King's School and The Queen's School are both within easy driving distance, alongside the wider choice of schools available across Chester. Buyers should make their own enquiries regarding current admissions and catchment arrangements. A Day Out? Manchester and Liverpool are both accessible for shopping, dining, sport and culture, while Delamere Forest provides a complete change of pace closer to home. Head west and Snowdonia opens up another world of mountain scenery and outdoor adventure. Getting Around? Chester railway station is the closest station and can be reached on foot. Numerous bus routes also run from opposite the property, while road connections put Cheshire Oaks, surrounding Cheshire villages and the wider region within straightforward reach. LIFE AT 1C SANDOWN TERRACE: “Having uninterrupted river views while being this accessible to the city is a rare combination. We can walk almost everywhere we need to go.” City Convenience, Riverside Calm 1c Sandown Terrace offers an unusual proposition for buyers who want Chester on their doorstep without feeling surrounded by the city. Inside, the generous living room and sociable kitchen and dining room provide space to entertain properly, while three flexible bedrooms and two bathrooms make the layout practical for everyday life. Outside, the communal garden meets the River Dee, bringing greenery and open views into the setting. Then, in the other direction, Waitrose is across the road and Chester's restaurants, theatres, shops, railway station, City Walls and riverside walks are all within easy reach. It is city living with a distinctly calmer outlook.
