Location - Waters Edge is ideally positioned for buyers who want a waterside setting without sacrificing access to the city centre. Situated directly alongside the Shropshire Union Canal, the development combines a peaceful canal-side environment with excellent connectivity to Chester's historic core.

The development sits just a short walk from the city centre, allowing residents to reach Chester's shops, restaurants, cathedral, and historic streets on foot. One of its biggest attractions is its proximity to the canal towpath, offering scenic walks, cycling routes, and waterside views right from the doorstep. The canal connects into Chester Basin, where the canal and River Dee meet in the heart of the city.

Nearby is Water Tower Gardens & Play-area, a popular green space set beside Chester's ancient walls and canal. The gardens provide open parkland, play areas, tennis courts and attractive views of the historic surroundings, making them particularly appealing for families and dog walkers.

The area is also home to the historic The Water Tower, a Grade I listed medieval structure dating from the 14th century. Positioned on the north-west corner of Chester's city walls, it adds significant character and heritage value to the neighbourhood.

For leisure and entertainment, residents are within walking distance of Chester Racecourse, the oldest racecourse still in operation in Britain. The racecourse and surrounding Roodee provide an expansive open aspect that is unusual for such a central location
