An exceptional two bedroom duplex apartment offering generous accommodation arranged over two floors.
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 offering its own distinctive layout whilst celebrating the heritage of this impressive building.
The sensitive conversion has retained and complemented many of the building’s original architectural features, with impressive window openings, high and vaulted ceilings and exposed structural detailing sitting alongside carefully considered contemporary additions.
Every apartment benefits from an allocated parking space with EV charging capability, providing modern convenience within a characterful development close to Chester city centre.
The result is a boutique development that successfully combines history, individuality and modern living in a way rarely available within the city.
Apartment Five
Apartment Five is a particularly spacious two bedroom duplex apartment, extending to approximately 1,389 sq ft (129 sq m) and arranged across the ground and first floors.
The apartment is approached through its own entrance into a lobby, with useful built in storage and a separate WC. From here, the accommodation opens into a generous kitchen and dining room, providing an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining.
The contemporary kitchen has been finished with shaker style cabinetry, timber worktops and integrated appliances, together with a substantial peninsula incorporating additional preparation space and informal seating. Timber flooring runs throughout the room, while pendant lighting and the understated neutral finish give the space a clean and contemporary feel.
Stairs rise to the first floor, where the layout creates a clear separation between the living and sleeping accommodation. A particularly impressive separate living room provides a substantial reception space, offering considerably more flexibility than is typically found within apartment living. The elevated position and character of the building create a light and distinctive room with ample space for generous seating and entertaining.
The principal bedroom is a well proportioned double and benefits from its own substantial en suite bathroom. Finished in a contemporary neutral palette, the en suite includes both a separate shower enclosure and bath, twin wash basins, WC, timber shelving and modern fittings, creating an excellent principal suite.
The second bedroom is also a good sized double and benefits from its own en suite shower room, making the apartment particularly well suited to professional sharers, couples requiring guest accommodation or those looking for a dedicated home working space.
Throughout the apartment, contemporary finishes have been carefully balanced against the character of the original building. Timber flooring, oak internal doors, neutral decoration and modern sanitaryware provide a cohesive finish, while the varied ceiling heights, exposed beam detailing and distinctive window openings retain a sense of the building’s history.
Apartment Five further benefits from useful internal storage, gas central heating and one allocated parking space with EV charging capability.
The combination of approximately 1,389 sq ft of accommodation, two en suite double bedrooms, separate living and dining spaces and a duplex layout makes Apartment Five a particularly versatile home within this unique development.
Please note: the landlord progresses the tenancy and manages the property themselves, this means the letting process will vary from our standard process.
