About this home
An exceptional three-bedroom duplex apartment showcasing dramatic volume and architectural character
Description
The Development
Following the meticulous redevelopment of the former St Mary's School, 2 Overleigh Road presents an exclusive collection of just nine individually designed apartments, each celebrating the architectural heritage of this iconic building whilst delivering the comfort and efficiency expected of a contemporary home.
The carefully considered conversion has preserved many original features, including impressive vaulted ceilings, exposed structural beams, leaded windows and period detailing, all complemented by premium fixtures, fittings and modern specifications throughout.
Each apartment benefits from an allocated parking space with EV charging capability, creating an exceptional collection of homes within one of Chester's most desirable residential locations.
The Apartment
Apartment Nine offers thoughtfully designed accommodation across two levels, creating a home of exceptional character rarely found within Chester's apartment market.
The welcoming entrance hall provides access to the principal accommodation and immediately sets the tone for the quality and craftsmanship evident throughout the apartment.
At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space where dramatic vaulted ceilings and exposed structural beams create an immediate sense of scale and grandeur. Original leaded windows flood the room with natural light, while solid ash flooring, sourced from the Eaton Estate, and carefully selected finishes enhance the warm and contemporary feel of the space.
The bespoke shaker-style kitchen has been beautifully designed, featuring high-quality wood-effect worktops, an integrated oven and hob, and a generous peninsula breakfast bar, providing both excellent preparation space and an ideal setting for informal dining and entertaining. Feature pendant lighting further enhances this striking space, whilst allowing purchasers the flexibility to install their own white goods.
The principal bedroom is generously proportioned and benefits from a luxurious en suite shower room, creating a peaceful private retreat. A second double bedroom is located on the main level and is served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring both a full-sized bath and separate walk-in shower, offering flexibility for families, guests or those working from home.
A staircase rises to the first floor, where a versatile third bedroom provides an ideal guest suite, home office or creative space, adding further flexibility to this unique duplex layout.
Finished to an exceptional standard, both bathrooms showcase elegant porcelain tiling, premium sanitaryware, contemporary brassware and bespoke oak shelving, reinforcing the meticulous craftsmanship and carefully considered design evident throughout the apartment.
Throughout the apartment, original architectural features have been carefully preserved and seamlessly integrated with a refined contemporary specification, resulting in a home that is both timeless and distinctive.
Please note: the landlord progresses the tenancy and manages the property themselves, this means the letting process will vary from our standard process.
