A popular Chester city centre pub has been put on the market. Brewhouse and Kitchen, which sells award-winning craft beers, has a guide price of £1.5m.

Leisure property specialists Fleurets are marketing the historic building. Its listing states: "A substantial freehold opportunity in the heart of Chester, prominently located on Love Street. With total floor areas spanning approximately 14,558 Sq. ft this impressive Grade II listed Georgian-era building, formerly a depository, has been converted into high-quality licensed premises.

"Constructed of traditional brick beneath multi-pitched slate roofs, the property is arranged over part two, part four storeys and offers extensive internal space with significant future development potential. The freehold interest is now being offered at the guide price of £1,500,000 plus VAT with vacant possession.

"The property offers fully fitted trading areas across the lower ground and ground floors. The lower ground floor, accessed from street level, features two private trading areas with exposed brick walls and barrel-vaulted ceilings. The ground floor is accessed via steps from the main entrance or by a disabled lift and features traditional finishes throughout, including hardwood timbers.

"To one side is a split-level bar area with a raised seating section, and to the other is the main dining space, with an additional split-level area to the side with a timber bar servery is positioned at the rear. Ground floor ancillary areas include a disabled WC, wash-up area, and utility room, plus customer toilets at mezzanine level.

"On the first floor is a fully equipped commercial kitchen, along with a boiler room, plant room, staff facilities. The second floor comprises a series of currently disused rooms, all of which benefit from planning permission to be converted into 17 hotel bedrooms, offering a substantial redevelopment opportunity."

Tim Martin, Divisional Director at Fleurets North West, added: "This is a unique chance to acquire a landmark freehold property in the heart of Chester. Currently operating as a corporate-managed Brewhouse & Kitchen, the site offers significant potential. With existing trading infrastructure, a 2am licence, and planning consent for 17 hotel bedrooms, it represents an opportunity for operators or investors looking to establish a high-quality, mixed-use business in one of the North West's most sought-after city centres."
