This Grade II Listed building presents a unique and valuable opportunity for investors and developers in the historic center of Chester. Spanning approximately 3,185 sq ft across three floors, the property currently serves as office space, with a commercial retail unit on the ground floor. Notably, there is existing planning permission to convert the upper floors into residential accommodation, capitalizing on the growing demand for city-center living. The retail unit, which is currently leased to Cafe Nero and extends to about 1,365 sq ft, features a return frontage onto Bridge Street and White Friars. Additionally, an unused basement space of around 500 sq ft provides further potential for creative enhancements or storage solutions.
Situated on Bridge Street—a highly trafficked pedestrian route—this property benefits from proximity to a range of amenities including gourmet restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and retail stores. Chester's appeal as a vibrant city with over 90,000 residents ensures robust prospects for both commercial investment and residential development. The area is not only rich in history but also functions as a critical hub for commerce and tourism with direct transport links to major cities including London and Manchester. This property's dual potential—as both a commercial asset and residential conversion project—makes it an attractive proposition in the current market.
