Summary - APARTMENT NS 303, ROYAL MILLS, 2 COTTON STREET M4 5BD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Characterful, move-in-ready city flat near Northern Quarter amenities.
585 sq ft one-bedroom with exposed brick and large arched windows
Positioned in a converted mill on Cotton Street, this 585 sq ft one-bedroom apartment combines industrial character with practical city living. Exposed brickwork, large arched windows and an open-plan living and dining area create a bright, loft-like feel ideal for entertaining or a flexible home-office layout. The double bedroom is a comfortable retreat and the fully integrated kitchen and spacious bathroom offer move-in-ready convenience.
The property is offered fully furnished and sits on the third floor, placing it above street level for quieter city views while keeping you a short walk from the Northern Quarter’s cafes, shops and nightlife. Local amenities, strong broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern urban lifestyles, and nearby good and outstanding schools add versatility for buyers with varied needs.
Practical points: the home is leasehold with a very long lease remaining (974 years) and a modest ground rent (£175). Heating is provided via a community mains-gas scheme and glazing is double-glazed (install date unknown). The building’s solid brick walls are original and assumed uninsulated, which can affect winter heat retention and may be a consideration for future improvement.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a characterful, low-maintenance urban base in the heart of Manchester’s cultural quarter. It balances period features and contemporary fittings, but buyers should note the communal heating arrangement, potential insulation limitations and the surrounding area’s higher deprivation classification when assessing long-term running costs and rental demand.
