Long Lane, Upton, Chester

The well-proportioned bedroom benefits from a double fitted wardrobe, and the bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite including a shower over the bath.

Mallard Court offers excellent communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry room, and guest accommodation. The development is set within attractive and extensive communal gardens, with the apartment enjoying a particularly pleasant outlook over one of the large rear gardens, which was a key feature of the property.

The service charge includes the water bill and is payable in two instalments each year (March and September), along with the ground rent, helping to spread costs evenly across the year.
