We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A WELL PRESENTED FIRST FLOOR TWO BEDROOMED APARTMENT IN THE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER SUBURB OF HOOLE, OFFERED FOR SALE WITH NO ONWARD CHAIN Positioned within the ever-popular and highly sought after Chester suburb of Hoole, this well presented first floor apartment provides an excellent opportunity for both homeowners seeking a conveniently placed property and buy-to-let investors looking to start or add to an existing portfolio.
Guernsey House enjoys a pleasant set-back position adjacent to Hoole Road, with a leafy and green outlook on approach to the communal entrance.
The property has proved to be a successful rental investment for our client and is now offered to the market vacant, providing the new owner with the flexibility to either occupy the property themselves or secure a new tenant.
The added incentive of NO ONWARD CHAIN further enhances the appeal. A communal entrance lobby with staircase leads to the first floor, where the apartment has its own private entrance door.
There is also a further allocated storage cupboard immediately outside the apartment, complementing the allocated brick store found within the communal courtyard to the rear and providing useful additional storage.
The communal courtyard also provides residents with access to washing lines, whilst a residents' parking permit scheme operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with vehicular access from Pipers Lane.
The apartment itself has recently benefited from a cosmetic spruce-up, including new carpeting and redecoration, resulting in a neutral and appealing finish which is ready for immediate occupation or letting.
Internally, the welcoming hallway provides access to all rooms and incorporates useful built-in storage for everyday items, together with an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.
There are two well proportioned double bedrooms, both served by the bathroom, which is fitted with a three-piece white suite including a bath with shower over, wash basin and WC.
The bathroom is finished with fully tiled walls and a decorative border tile.
The kitchen is conveniently accessed from the hallway and is fitted with an attractive range of shaker-style, wood-effect wall, base and drawer units, complemented by work surfaces, curved fitments and tiled splashbacks.
Integrated appliances include an inset four-ring electric hob, built-under oven and grill, washing machine and fridge, together with a stainless-steel sink and drainer.
The reception accommodation enjoys a pleasant semi-open-plan arrangement, with a separate dining room featuring a front-facing aspect and an opening through into the adjoining living room.
The living room enjoys a side aspect and provides a good amount of floor space, with an electric fire and surround creating an attractive focal point.
The property is fitted with electric storage heaters, although a gas connection is also available to the apartment, together with mains electricity, water and drainage. The property is leasehold.
Overall, this is a well presented and sensibly proportioned two-bedroomed first floor apartment in one of Chester's most popular residential suburbs, offering excellent flexibility for either owner occupation or investment purposes.
With Hoole's extensive range of independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants close by, together with convenient access to Chester city centre, the railway station and wider road networks, Guernsey House represents an appealing opportunity in a highly regarded location — and with NO ONWARD CHAIN.
