The property

Connell and Connell are delighted to present to the market this spacious third (top) floor, A-listed apartment in a historic 1740s mansion house. Steeped in history, Chessel's Court is one example of the 19th-century urban regeneration efforts led by the botanist, philanthropist, pioneer sociologist and town planner, Sir Patrick Geddes (1854-1932).
