One bedroom first floor apartment situated within a mccarthy stone retirement
living development for the over 60's, with all the charm of chester on your
doorstep, close to Grosvenor Park and the River Dee. A rooftop terrace offers
views of Chester.
This McCarthy Stone development, Forest Court, takes its name from Forest
Street, which lies at the rear of the development and is just around the
corner from Foregate Street, one of the city's main thoroughfares with all of
the shops, cafes, restaurants and other amenities you would expect of a
bustling city. Within 100 yards of the development lies the remains of a Roman
amphitheater, demonstrating Chester's origins as a Roman fortress. Almost
opposite you will find the entrance to Grosvenor Park where you can walk
through the tranquil gardens and enjoy the sounds and sights of the River Dee.
A roof top terrace offers amazing views of Chester.
The development has a dedicated House Manager on site during the day to take
care of things and make you feel at home. There's no need to worry about the
burden of maintenance costs as the service charge covers the cost of all
external maintenance, gardening and landscaping, external window cleaning,
