About this home

An exceptional three-bedroom duplex apartment within an exclusive development of just nine residences.

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 distinctive building whilst delivering the comfort and efficiency expected of a contemporary home.

The carefully considered conversion has preserved the character of the original building, incorporating period windows and architectural detailing alongside 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 Four is an exceptionally spacious three-bedroom duplex apartment extending to approximately 1,507 sq ft, offering beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged across two floors. With multiple reception areas, a versatile layout and carefully selected contemporary finishes, the apartment provides an attractive balance of character, comfort and practicality.

The ground floor is particularly impressive, with a generous kitchen and dining room forming the heart of the home. The thoughtfully designed kitchen incorporates shaker-style cabinetry, wood-effect worktops and integrated cooking appliances, complemented by ample preparation space and an excellent area for dining and entertaining.

Adjoining the dining area is a separate snug or informal living space, providing a more relaxed setting away from the principal reception room. A further substantial living room offers an additional area for entertaining or everyday relaxation, with attractive windows allowing natural light to fill the space.

A particularly appealing feature of the accommodation is the additional ground-floor room, which can serve as a third bedroom, home office or further snug, providing considerable flexibility to suit individual requirements. A guest WC and useful storage facilities complete the ground-floor accommodation.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where two generously proportioned double bedrooms are arranged around a central landing.

The principal bedroom provides a peaceful and spacious retreat, benefiting from a contemporary en suite shower room finished with elegant porcelain tiling, modern sanitaryware and bespoke oak shelving.

The second bedroom is equally well presented and is served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, featuring a full-sized bath with overhead shower, contemporary fittings and complementary natural-toned finishes.

Throughout the apartment, the refurbishment has been completed with careful attention to detail. Solid ash flooring, sourced from the Eaton Estate, enhances the principal living accommodation, whilst natural timber doors, neutral decorative finishes and thoughtfully selected materials create a warm yet contemporary aesthetic.

The combination of substantial floor space, multiple reception rooms and flexible bedroom accommodation makes Apartment Four particularly well suited to professional couples, families or those seeking the convenience of apartment living without compromising on space.

Positioned within this exclusive conversion, the apartment offers a rare opportunity to enjoy generously proportioned accommodation and contemporary living in a characterful building, conveniently located for Chester city centre and the amenities of Handbridge.

Please note: the landlord progresses the tenancy and manages the property themselves, this means the letting process will vary from our standard process.
