A historic church tower in the heart of Cardiff has been spectacularly transformed into what estate agents are calling one of the most unique residential conversions in the United Kingdom.
From Steeple to Stunning Residence
St James Tower, originally part of the Church of St James the Great, has been meticulously restored and redeveloped into a breathtaking seven-storey home. The property, which dates back to 1894, now seamlessly blends its original Victorian architecture with contemporary modern designs.
Estate agents Jeffrey Ross are marketing the extraordinary property for nearly £800,000, specifically £799,950. They describe the conversion as both 'iconic and imaginative', highlighting how it represents one of the most distinctive property transformations in the country.
A Home Steeped in History and Character
The listing for St James Tower celebrates its remarkable heritage, stating: 'From its soaring stone arches and ornate columns to the vibrant hues of its original stained glass windows, every level of this tower tells the story of over a century of craftsmanship, character and devotion.'
The seven-storey layout offers prospective buyers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate toilet, a formal dining room, and a generous living area. The agents have marketed it as a 'true one-of-a-kind home' that perfectly combines urban convenience with monumental architecture.
Part of a Wider Regeneration
The conversion of the tower is part of a larger redevelopment of the entire church site on Newport Road. While the tower stands as a single, spectacular residence, the wider church complex has been transformed into 16 exclusive apartments.
Jeffrey Ross added in their listing: 'The imagination behind such a brilliantly bonkers space is one to marvel at, as well as feel inspired. We feel extremely fortunate to be able to bring this to the open market finally.' This unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Cardiff's architectural history, reimagined for modern living.
