It was sensitively renovated to an exceptional standard by its current owners and it is being sold with a full and tastefully equipped inventory of furniture and effects. The property was recently listed as part of the Heritage Conservation Area in the town of St George's in line with the Physical Planning and Development Control Act of 2002. This means that any changes and alterations to its construction will need to be presented to the conservation authorities for their approval. This should be viewed and sold as a plus since it means that the property is preserved as a listed building and it should therefore be of special interest to entities likely to be interested in a historic, prestigious, Club-like address in the capital, with easy walking access to Parliament, the main churches and the Law Courts.
"The Priory" garden has also just been listed in a UK published book entitled "1,001 Gardens You Must See Before You Die" which features gardens from countries around the world ( General Editor Rae Spencer-Jones, ISBN-13/978-1-84403-498-7 2007)
"The Priory" features prominently in the archival books and records on the town of St George's. It is mentioned in "City on a Hill" by the late Willie Redhead which records that the property was a priory where the Dominican Fathers lived before the Vicariate was built between it and the Anglican Church. It is eminently suited as an up-market town residence and/or, subject to planning permission, as prestigious premises for professional application.
The property consists of the master bedroom, an additional bedroom, a study and two bathrooms in the upper level along with a drawing room, dining room, kitchen and breakfast area. The lower level has an additional bedroom, with bathroom, and a drawing/dining room and it leads to a self-contained apartment with its own separate bathroom, kitchenette and independent entrance. There is the possibility to extend and convert the spacious attic into additional living or working space.
The lower level leads to a large covered garden patio with dramatic views of St George's harbour and the skillfully landscaped grounds include a profusion of flowers and shrubs in the front and back gardens in addition to a small carport/garage.
