2 Bedroom Apartment House to Rent

Full Description

We are delighted to offer the opportunity to purchase a unique property in a former cardboard factory where the ground rent is `one cardboard box (if demanded)`. As the first scheme in Manchester to sell `shell space` and provide the opportunity for the owners to become the designers (with the help of an architect), this 1920`s Art Deco warehouse offers bespoke city centre living in the heart of Castlefield.

The Box Works is within walking distance to Deansgate Square, restaurants and gastro pubs including The Wharf, Dukes 92 and Alberts, the Y Club gym at Castlefield Bowl, an independent cinema, theatre and art gallery at HOME, and supermarkets such as Co-op and Tesco. The property is also ideal for access to Cornbrook Metrolink or Deansgate train station.

The development benefits from Fibre, a secure communal entrance, lift service to all floors, a well maintained canal side communal garden with picnic benches and table tennis table, and an opportunity to grow your own vegetables.

This well presented property is located on the first floor and benefits from floor to ceiling windows with a view of the Bridgewater Canal inlet. High ceilings are found throughout. Steel girders are the industrial features associated with award winning developers, Urban Splash. This `loft` style property boasts an estimated 1110 sqft living space and would suit a buyer who would appreciate the architectural history with a period conversion. Walnut flooring provides texture to an open living/dining area that extends to a bright sun room with access to a quaint canal facing balcony. Designed with the culinary enthusiast in mind, a prominent island is the kitchen`s centrepiece. There is substantial work top space, a convenient breakfast bar and ample cupboard space. Appliances come integrated. The primary bedroom is generously furnished with fitted furniture throughout, and provides access to a luxury Jack & Jill bathroom with sumptuous roll top bath, walk in shower and vanity unit. An additional double bedroom is available for guests or could be utilised as an office.

The property is sold with the use of a secure underground tandem car parking space for two cars, and is offered with vacant possession.

We can confirm the development has been issued a EWS1 form with B1 rating which may be requested by lenders issuing a mortgage.
