The space over three floors is totally flexible, allowing for a multitude of configurations of layouts and individual room use to suit the specific needs of each homeowner. 13 St Mary has functioned as a family home, a gallery and events space and currently as a Holiday Let.

The first floor is presented as 3 bedrooms, one with large contemporary ensuite/shower room, a family bathroom, and a study overlooking the Soaperie Gardens and through to the harbour.
