Double-height living room with large arched Victorian windows
Set within the striking former Royal Mail Sorting Office, this two-bedroom duplex blends industrial character with practical city-centre access. The open-plan living area benefits from a dramatic double-height ceiling, large arched windows and exposed brick, creating bright, airy living space with strong visual appeal. An on-site concierge adds convenience and security.
The upper level houses two double bedrooms and a bathroom, while a ground-floor WC and kitchen complete the layout. The conversion keeps many original features and high ceilings, offering a unique home or city rental proposition in a well-connected part of Manchester close to Deansgate and Market Street.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 105 years remaining, an above-average service charge of £5,780pa and a small ground rent of £250pa. The immediate area is a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood with very deprived area scores—this boosts rental demand but may not suit buyers seeking a quiet suburban setting.
Overall, this duplex will suit buyers wanting characterful central living or investors targeting strong city-centre rental interest. Budget realistically for service charges and consider the local demographic when planning use or refurbishment.
