## Description

Welcome to 38 Allington Place - a well-presented three-bedroom home tucked away in the ever-popular district of Handbridge, just a short stroll across the historic Old Dee Bridge into Chester city centre. Whether you’re looking for easy access to the bustling high street, proximity to beautiful Grosvenor Park, or top-tier schools at both primary and secondary level, this home delivers on all fronts.

Set on a double-width gravel driveway, there’s ample off-road parking for two vehicles. Running the full length of the property, a cleverly designed back-to-front shed offers fantastic storage - almost the size of a narrow garage, ideal for bikes, tools, or garden equipment.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a light and bright entrance hall, leading through to a comfortable living room finished with a soft pale grey carpet and framed by oak-effect internal doors, adding warmth to the clean, modern décor. The home is fully UPVC double glazed and warmed throughout by gas central heating, ensuring year-round comfort.

To the rear, the open-plan dining kitchen is a real highlight - a generous space with pale grey high-gloss units, wood-effect worktops, and chrome T-bar handles that combine to create a sleek, contemporary feel. There’s space and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, room for both a fridge and a freezer, and a built-in electric oven, grill and hob with extractor above. French doors open straight out onto a sunny, private garden with lawn, patio area and established shrubs providing just the right balance of space and privacy - perfect for summer dining or quiet relaxation. The garden also benefits from an outdoor tap and access to the rear of the long storage shed.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a neat landing with hard-wearing cream carpet. The main bedroom, a well-sized double, overlooks the garden and includes a recessed double wardrobe for added convenience. Bedroom two offers a generous single with room for a wardrobe and additional storage, while bedroom three is ideal as a nursery or home office - complete with a handy alcove that makes excellent use of the space.

The bathroom is surprisingly spacious and stylishly finished, with a modern white three-piece suite, chrome fittings, a glazed screen, and a shower over the bath. A chrome heated towel rail and cupboard housing the combination boiler complete the room. Having previously been rented, the property has benefited from regular checks and maintenance - and is now offered to the market with no onward chain, making it move-in ready.

A fantastic opportunity in one of Chester’s most sought-after locations.

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 1.16% (strong)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £334,375
- **Target investor price (1%):** £267,500

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

- **Monthly cashflow:** £1,477/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 26.6%

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − mortgage − 10% maintenance − £25/mo compliance; assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term. ROI = annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).*
