Description
Welcome to 5 Gilwern House, where the grandeur of traditional Cheshire architecture blends with modern luxury to offer an unrivalled living experience in the heart of Chester. Built in 1903 by architect John Douglas, this impressive building boasts the beautiful red brick and sandstone features that made this architect of yesteryear the celebrated figure he was.
Welcome
Climb to the top of this splendid house, passing numerous period features in the hallways along the way and arrive at the entrance to the penthouse apartment. Walk into a large and bright hallway and you will find beautifully appointed rooms filled with light and conveniently all on one level.
Living Spaces
Turning into the living area, charm exudes from every corner, from the rustic beams overhead to the enchanting windows and the warmth of the classic fireplace. Beyond lies a versatile space, perfect for dining or additional seating, adorned with doors that reveal a bijou roof terrace. Here, amidst the rooftops, you can enjoy breathtaking sunsets in seclusion and tranquility.
Gourmet Kitchen
The journey continues to the kitchen, where culinary dreams come alive. High windows and original beams cast an airy light over the large island, while the well-appointed kitchen features all the appliances necessary for modern gastronomy. Adjacent to this is a generous utility room, offering ample storage solutions, keeping your living spaces uncluttered and serene.
Restful Retreats
Retrace your steps to the main hallway, where a comfortable bedroom awaits, complete with an en suite that ensures privacy and ease. Further along, the master suite beckons, a luxurious haven with a spacious bathroom that promises relaxation and rejuvenation.
Communal Splendour
Wander through the communal hallways where Walter Crane's legacy shines through the beautiful lead-stained windows. As an illustrator prominent in the Arts and Crafts movement, his work adds an artistic narrative to the penthouse's approach, enhancing the building's historical narrative.
