The Property

Once known as “La Retraite, ” a private girls’ school, Cornwallis House was originally built around 1794 and tastefully extended in the 1820s. Some 40 years ago, this elegant building was transformed into a collection of luxury apartments, seamlessly blending historic character with contemporary living. Nestled in the highly sought-after Cornwallis Grove, just moments from the vibrant heart of Clifton Village, this exceptional ground floor apartment is a rare gem.
Beyond its private front door, a gracious hallway with built-in wardrobes welcomes you inside. To the left, the space opens into a generously proportioned, open-plan reception room and kitchen—a harmonious combination of period charm and modern design. The kitchen features a range of maple-toned cabinetry, complemented by sleek marble countertops and equipped with integrated appliances including a gas hob, extractor fan, and fridge-freezer. The tiled kitchen floor transitions beautifully into warm engineered wood flooring throughout the rest of the reception space. Arched architectural details add character and a sense of intimacy, while multiple windows and French doors bathe the room in natural light. A striking arched door from the kitchen leads directly to the beautifully maintained communal garden—an ideal extension of the living space.
The bathroom is a sanctuary of style and comfort, fully tiled and featuring a luxurious freestanding bath, a spacious walk-in shower, a low-level WC, and an expansive fitted mirror that enhances the sense of space and light.
The adjacent bedroom is a serene and inviting retreat, thoughtfully finished with natural seagrass flooring and classic wooden shutters for a touch of timeless elegance.
Outside, residents enjoy access to the meticulously landscaped communal garden and benefit from a private, allocated parking space—offering convenience and tranquillity in equal measure.
