Sympathetically converted in the 1980’s King’s Buildings occupy a highly regarded conservation area location within walking distance of the numerous facilities and amenities within and around the historic Roman city of Chester. Fast and efficient mainline railway services to London and other parts of the country can be accessed from the Chester General railway station, and excellent connections to the wider north west road communications network can be reached via nearby junctions with the M53/M56 motorways, the A55 Expressway into North Wales and the A41 and A51 trunk roads.
No. 4 King’s Buildings itself has a rich and fascinating history having been variously occupied over the years since it was first built in 1774, by an East India Company sea captain, a solicitor and a civil engineer, as well as being used as a boarding school, a military hospital, a boarding house and a nurses home.
What can undoubtedly be described as a unique apartment, this superb property also has the benefit of a tandem parking space off Hunter Street, shared use of a communal cellar and attractive communal gardens, and a share in the freehold title to 2, 3 & 4 King’s Buildings via a one twelfth share in the King’s Buildings Management Company Limited.
The apartment also has a gas fired combination central heating/hot water boiler, connections to all mains services and the following accommodation which is described in detail below.
Impressive communal entrance hall
With access to the cellar, a rear door to the gardens and parking areas, and an inner doorway leading to the subject apartment itself.
Rooms

Outside
To the rear of the building there are attractive communal gardens as well as a communal parking area with access from Hunter Street. Within this communal parking area there is a tandem space allocated to the subject property itself.
Of particular note within No. 4 King’s Buildings itself is the communal cellar, which has no specified areas particular to each apartment, but is generally used by the residents.
Tenure
The property is of leasehold tenure, having the benefit of a 999 year lease dating from the 1st of November 1985. This lease is subject to a nominal ground rent and a variable annual service charge in respect of items of communal expense and maintenance, this being currently set at £150 per calendar month.
Of particular appeal is the fact that a share in the freehold title to No’s 2,3 & 4 King’s Buildings will be transferred to the eventual purchaser upon completion via a one twelfth shareholding in the King’s Buildings Management Company within which, is vested the aforementioned freehold title.
