Third-floor corner aspect with high ceilings and large industrial windows
Set within an impressive Grade II listed cotton mill in the heart of Ancoats, this corner-aspect third-floor apartment blends industrial character with contemporary comfort. The open-plan living space benefits from high ceilings, large industrial-style windows and exposed brickwork, creating a bright, airy environment ideal for entertaining or relaxed city living. Two double bedrooms and two bathrooms include a luxury main bathroom and an en suite shower room.
Practical benefits include a long lease (238 years remaining), an EWS1 form with a B1 rating, 24-hour concierge service and convenient proximity to Piccadilly station, the Northern Quarter and award-winning restaurants. The apartment is offered chain-free and presented in good order, making it suitable for professionals, small families or buy-to-let investors seeking a central Manchester address with strong rental appeal.
Buyers should note material running costs and constraints: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of about £3,348 and ground rent of £370. Heating is electric (room heaters), which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. The building’s listed status preserves historic features but may restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance or planning work.
Overall, this conversion apartment offers a distinctive, well-located urban home with characterful details and modern finishes, balanced by predictable leasehold costs and some limitations from its listed status and electric heating.
