Apartment 5, Overleigh Road, Handbridge, CH4

Description

Following the meticulous redevelopment of the former St Mary’s School, Apartment Five is one of just nine individually designed homes, each thoughtfully created to celebrate the character and heritage of this striking building.

The conversion blends original architectural features with contemporary design, retaining impressive windows, vaulted ceilings and exposed structural detailing while introducing high-quality modern finishes throughout. Residents also benefit from an allocated parking space with EV charging capability.

Extending to approximately 1,389 sq ft (129 sq m), Apartment Five is a spacious two-bedroom duplex arranged across the ground and first floors. A private entrance leads into a welcoming lobby with built-in storage and a separate WC, before opening into a generous kitchen and dining space with separate WC. 

Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the contemporary kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry, timber worktops, integrated hob and oven and space for additional appliances. There is a substantial peninsula providing additional preparation space and informal seating. Timber flooring and a neutral palette create a bright, understated feel. 

The first floor offers a particularly impressive reception room with an expansive living space rarely found in apartment living, with ample room for relaxing or entertaining.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles. The principal suite benefits from a spacious en-suite bathroom with separate bath and shower, while the large second bedroom has a separate shower room, making the apartment ideal for guests, sharers or home working.

Throughout, contemporary finishes sit comfortably alongside the building's historic character, with timber flooring, oak doors and modern sanitaryware complemented by exposed beams and distinctive window openings.
