Summary - Royal Mills, Cotton Street, Ancoats, Manchester M4 5BZ
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Characterful city living with parking and concierge in vibrant Ancoats.
Second-floor two-bedroom apartment, approx. 817 sq ft
Set within the striking Grade II listed Royal Mills, this 2-bedroom second-floor apartment combines character features with contemporary living across about 817 sq ft. High ceilings and exposed brick in the living area create an airy, light-filled space paired with a modern fitted kitchen and integrated appliances, ready for everyday use or rental occupancy.
The layout includes two generous double bedrooms, one with an en-suite, plus a separate bathroom. Sold freehold with an allocated off-street parking space and on-site concierge, the development benefits from a central Ancoats location—five minutes from New Islington Marina and the Northern Quarter—and excellent transport links to Manchester city centre.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status, which can restrict alterations and add complexity to some works. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the annual service charge is substantial (£3,921.88). Ground rent is currently £300 per year with an escalation clause that has historically doubled; a deed of variation is in progress to amend this to an RPI-based review.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a central, characterful home with good rental potential, provided they are comfortable with listed-building constraints and the running costs associated with the development.
