Set on the first floor of a converted telephone exchange in Manchester’s creative Northern Quarter, this two-bedroom apartment combines characterful industrial details with a recently completed, designer-led renovation. At 958 sq ft the layout is generous for a city centre flat, with an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, principal bedroom with en-suite and a versatile second room suited to guests or a workspace.
The apartment has been offered turn-key and carries an EWS1 form, having previously generated income through shoots and filming — a clear plus for investors or buyers seeking occasional lets. Tall sash windows, exposed brick and painted columns retain the building’s heritage while limewashed finishes, integrated kitchen appliances and polished wooden floors give a refined contemporary feel.
Practical facts to note: the property is leasehold (very long lease: 973 years remaining) with an average service charge of £3,570pa and a ground rent of £200. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may affect running costs. Council tax is above average for the area.
Located within a 10-minute walk of both Victoria and Piccadilly stations and surrounded by the Northern Quarter’s galleries, cafés and independent shops, the apartment is well placed for commuters, students and creative professionals. For a buyer seeking a ready-to-run city centre asset or a stylish home with letting potential, this property balances strong central location and character with predictable leasehold and running-cost considerations.
