About
An exceptional two bedroom apartment offering impressive proportions, and soaring ceilings seamlessly blending period character with contemporary living 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 iconic building.
The sensitive conversion has retained many original architectural features, including vaulted ceilings, exposed structural beams, impressive window openings and period detailing, carefully combined with high-quality contemporary finishes throughout.
Every apartment benefits from an allocated parking space with EV charging capability, offering modern convenience within one of Chester's most sought-after residential locations.
The result is a boutique development that successfully blends history, character and modern living in a way rarely available within the city.
Apartment Three Extending to approximately 1,281 sq ft (119 sq m), Apartment Three is an impressive two bedroom apartment combining generous proportions, striking original features and contemporary finishes to create a distinctive home within walking distance of Chester city centre.
A welcoming entrance leads through to the superb open plan kitchen, dining and living space, which forms the heart of the apartment.
The exceptional ceiling height and large original leaded windows create a wonderful sense of scale and flood the room with natural light, while the generous proportions provide ample space for both dining and relaxed seating.
The contemporary kitchen has been finished to a high standard, featuring striking dark shaker style cabinetry, timber worktops and a substantial central island with breakfast bar seating.
Integrated cooking appliances and feature pendant lighting complete the space, with the island providing a natural focal point for everyday living and entertaining.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, benefitting from exceptional ceiling height and large original windows.
A separate dressing area provides excellent wardrobe space, while a stylish en suite shower room creates a private principal suite.
Bedroom two is positioned separately from the principal bedroom and is also a well proportioned double, benefitting from its own en suite shower room, making the layout particularly well suited to professional sharers, guests or those requiring flexible home working space.
Both en suite shower rooms have been finished in a contemporary style with neutral porcelain tiling, modern sanitaryware and chrome fittings, complementing the understated finish found throughout the apartment.
Timber flooring runs throughout the principal living accommodation and second bedroom, while soft carpeting adds warmth to the principal suite.
The combination of high ceilings, original leaded windows and carefully retained architectural detailing gives Apartment Three a character and sense of space rarely found in modern apartment living.
The apartment further benefits from useful internal storage and one allocated parking space with an EV charging point, adding further practicality to this exceptional city apartment.
