The conversion of the former city bank has utilised
great design and unstinting quality to achieve the delightful
blending of eminent functionality for modern city living with the
sleek lines and understated elegance reminiscent of the 1930s Art
Deco era.
The quality lavished upon this apartment is apparent in the thermal
and acoustic insulation exceeding any Eco Home standard, high
performance glazing, engineered Oak flooring, resin basins and
bath, underfloor heating with independent zone control and dimmable
LED lighting throughout.
The apartment enjoys a superb central location to the edge of
pedestrianised High Town, the corner plot affording it enviable
city views through the dappled privacy of a mature cherry tree to
the red sandstone of St. Peters Church directly opposite and across
the square to the classical columned portico of the Shire Hall. The
full amenities of the city are a step from the doorway, with even
nearby parking available.
