Chester has long been considered the jewel in
the crown of Cheshire. This historic walled City
still retains much of the original Roman Street
layout, and Bridge Street is an intrinsic part of
that heritage. As its name suggests, Bridge Street runs down to the Old Dee Bridge, the original crossing point of the River Dee.
The buildings along both sides of Bridge Street
form part of the Chester Rows Layout, for which Chester is world Famous. It has been claimed that these walkways were the first covered
shopping streets in Europe.

windows.At present, these offices could be occupied as one suite, or let as two, there being wc accommodation at each of Row plus 1 and Row plus 2 levels. These offices also retain a significant amount of original features.Planning consent has been granted for conversion of the upper floors to residential if required, further information later in this brochure.

opportunities to asset manage or refurbish either in whole or in part for Commercial or Residential use.
