Property description
Beautifully converted two bedroom duplex apartment with its own private entrance, set within an exclusive development in the heart of Handbridge
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 and character of this impressive 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 Six
Extending to approximately 1,076 sq ft (99.9 sq m) and arranged over two floors, Apartment Six is a particularly spacious two-bedroom home, benefitting from its own private external entrance, which adds to the sense of independence and gives the property a more homely feel. The accommodation offers an excellent balance of generous open-plan living space and well-proportioned bedroom accommodation
The ground floor is centred around an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living room, creating a substantial and sociable main living space. Multiple windows provide excellent natural light, while the open proportions allow plenty of room for separate dining and seating areas.
The contemporary kitchen is finished with elegant green shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by timber worktops, brass-effect fittings and a central island providing additional preparation space and a natural focal point for the room. Integrated cooking appliances, feature pendant lighting and extensive cabinetry complete the space, while a separate utility room provides useful additional storage and keeps practical household functions away from the main living accommodation.
A separate WC is also positioned on the ground floor, ideal for guests.
Stairs rise to the first floor where the accommodation comprises two generously proportioned double bedrooms, both with their own en suite shower rooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, while the second bedroom features a striking vaulted ceiling and exposed structural beam, reflecting the architectural character of the original building.
Both en suites have been finished in a clean contemporary style with large-format porcelain tiling, modern sanitaryware, rainfall-style showers and oak detailing. The second bedroom's en suite also incorporates bespoke open shelving, providing both practical storage and an attractive design feature.
Throughout the apartment, the combination of natural timber, contemporary finishes and retained architectural detailing creates a warm yet modern feel. Timber flooring flows through the principal ground-floor accommodation, while carpeting provides additional comfort within the bedrooms.
Apartment Six further benefits from useful internal storage and one allocated parking space with EV charging capability.
Positioned in the heart of Handbridge, the property offers an excellent balance between village-style surroundings and convenient access to Chester. The River Dee, Handbridge's independent amenities and Chester city centre are all within easy reach, making the apartment particularly well suited to professional couples, corporate tenants, downsizers or those looking for a high-quality home close to the city.
