LET 42 Watergate Street, Chester

Legat Owen is pleased to announce the successful letting of two prominent retail premises in Chester city centre.

We are delighted to confirm the letting of 36 Lower Bridge Street, a 724 sq ft retail unit situated in a highly visible position near the junction with Pepper Street. The property offers a well‑configured sales area, rear kitchen and WC facilities, and benefits from strong footfall within Chester’s retail environment.

We are also pleased to announce the letting of 42 Watergate Street, comprising 951 sq ft of open‑plan ground floor retail accommodation in one of Chester’s most characterful and vibrant streets. Located on the busy pedestrianised link between the city centre and Chester Racecourse, the property enjoys strong footfall and proximity to a mix of national and independent operators including Be At One, Champagne + Fromage, Cancer Research, Panna Coffee and Katie’s Tea Rooms.

These two transactions reflect the continued demand for well‑positioned retail premises within Chester’s historic city centre and highlight the confidence occupiers maintain in this thriving commercial location.
