Offering panoramic views over Chester’s cityscape, the turreted citadel of No. 29 Corbridge House offers sophisticated living in unique style.
Built in around 2004, Corbridge House melds seamlessly into the redbrick architecture of its surroundings. Nestled beside the Shropshire Union Canal, it’s easy to walk left into the city centre or right, out towards Broughton and Christleton.
Secure parking is provided in the underground facility, before taking the lift, or stairs up to the penthouse level of Corbridge House, where Apt. 29 awaits.
Voice activated colour-changing mood lighting allows you to create the perfect ambience in the entrance hall, dressed in bespoke, custom-designed Calico wallpaper, imported from Boston.
Boutique luxury lies at the core of this home, complemented by the unique architecture and setting of the apartment. From the open-plan living room, light flows in through a trio of semi-circular windows, which amplify the bright and airy feel of the home.
OWNER QUOTE: “It has boutique hotel feel – it’s homely, but with a sense of being somewhere unique. The colours and décor reflect comfort but high-end comfort.”
Weathered grey and dark wood-effect flooring harmonises with the solid maple doors and dark wooden worktops in the open-plan Magnet kitchen, providing a pleasing continuity of colour and tone throughout.
White cabinets reflect the light, for a crisp contemporary feel, providing plenty of storage. Appliances featured include a Neff double oven, induction hob with extractor, and washing machine, with space for a dishwasher. To the left of the entrance hall there is also a utility room with boiler. Pull up a stool at the breakfast bar and share a bottle of wine with friends as dinner is prepared, before dining at the table enjoying one of the best views in Chester.
After dinner, move into the lounge area, catching vivid sunsets that set the sky aglow against the darkening rooftops.
Views are a prominent highlight of this home, best savoured from the comfort of bed in the master suite, looking directly out toward Chester’s cathedral. Note the unique shape to each room; no space is standardised at Apt. 29, Corbridge House.
Refresh in the Porcelanosa ensuite, fully tiled in textured grey and featuring a large, walk-in shower, wash basin vanity unit and WC. Illuminated alcoves provide storage for essentials.
The second bedroom, also uniquely shaped and carpeted in grey, has Jack ‘n’ Jill access to the house bathroom, a stylish and mature space, fitted by Porcelanosa and featuring a wall mounted storage unit and wash basin vanity unit, large walk-in shower with luxurious, wide, rectangular waterfall head and a WC.
A third bedroom currently serves as a dressing room, with a wall of mirrored sliding door wardrobes.
