Location

The former United Services Ex-Servicemen’s Club is located on Crook Street, just off Watergate Street within 50m of Chester Cross, and benefits from being in a prime city centre location with ease of access from the St Martin’s Way section of the city inner ring road. Watergate Street is within the prime core pedestrianised retailing centre of Chester and is home to names including Sainsbury, Reiss, Costa Coffee, Timpsons, Phase Eight and Bravissimo.

The property is located adjacent to “Chester Northgate” which is the most significant development in Chester for decades and will transform the city’s historic core. Phase 1 is already complete and comprises The Storyhouse Cultural Centre, a fantastic new indoor market, new development of cafes, bars and restaurants including Cosy Club, North Light, Zizzi and Turtle Bay, new multi-storey car park, new retail and office space and a six screen cinema coming soon. The extensive Phase 2 of development is planned and surrounds the subject property which should greatly benefit the location. Further details are available on the Chester Northgate website.
