Blueoak Estates Completes Landmark Transformation of Former Lloyds Building into Chester’s Newest Rental Community

Blueoak Estates is proud to announce the completion of the first phase of All Six House, a major regeneration project that has transformed the former Lloyds Bank buildings on Charterhall Drive into a high-quality residential scheme.

Located just minutes from Chester train station, the development represents a significant milestone in the city’s evolution, delivering a total of 176 apartments within a thoughtfully repurposed commercial site.

Breathing New Life into Existing Buildings

The £38 million scheme highlights Blueoak Estates’ specialist expertise in the conversion of underutilised commercial buildings into desirable, modern homes. Rather than demolishing and rebuilding, Blueoak has worked carefully within the existing structure to unlock the site’s potential — preserving its footprint while completely reimagining its purpose. This approach not only enhances sustainability but also enables the delivery of homes in well-connected, established locations where demand continues to grow.

A New Standard for Rental Living in Chester

All Six House introduces a build-to-rent model rarely seen at this scale in Chester, bringing with it a professionally managed, lifestyle-led offering more commonly associated with larger UK cities.

The development includes:

  • One and two-bedroom fully furnished apartments
  • On-site gym and wellness facilities
  • Co-working spaces designed for modern lifestyles
  • Cinema room and communal gardens
  • Concierge-style management

 

The first phase of 77 apartments has already generated strong interest, with over 50 homes reserved ahead of completion and a show apartment now available for viewings. The scheme will be managed by The Leef Property Group, ensuring a seamless, high-quality experience for residents.

Delivering Homes for a Changing Market

Mike Bryce, Operations Director at Blueoak Estates, commented:

“This project is a clear example of how existing buildings can be successfully repurposed to meet modern housing needs. Our focus has always been on unlocking the potential of underused commercial spaces and delivering high-quality homes in locations where people genuinely want to live.”

“All Six House reflects a growing shift in the market — not just towards renting, but towards better renting. Professionally managed schemes with strong amenities and a sense of community are becoming increasingly important, and we’re proud to be bringing that to Chester.”

Setting the Benchmark for Future Regeneration

Spanning over 105,000 sq ft across a four-acre site, with parking for up to 122 vehicles, All Six House stands as a benchmark for future regeneration projects within Chester and beyond.

For Blueoak Estates, the development reinforces a clear and consistent approach, transforming overlooked buildings into thriving residential communities, while supporting the growth and sustainability of urban centres.
