The buyers received a variance from the town to place their antique business Bittersweet Blessings (www.bittersweet-blessings.com) in the property.  "This was a win-win-win, for the town, the school and the buyers", Chris Norwood of NAI Norwood Group commented, "it was great that the town worked with the buyers to keep this business in Chester, which we think preserves the village feel of the town.”  NAI Norwood Group continues to market the balance of the property, a 70 acre 5 building campus with library, dormitories and classroom space. There are many opportunities for reuse and redevelopment of the former Chester College campus in Chester New Hampshire. 

The small New England liberal art campus underwent substantial renovation in the mid 2000’s with numerous improvements in many of their buildings. Most of the upgrades were directed to code, life safety and energy enhancements which brought the campus up to date. The single largest and most recent expansion was the 2002 construction of Preston Hall, a 23,000± SF modern student residence hall.
