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, a table tennis table and an opportunity to grow your own vegetables.

Property briefly comprises: Entrance/hallway; primary bedroom with access to Jack and Jill bathroom with roll top bath, separate shower cubicle and twin sinks; dressing room; second double bedroom/study with access to additional en suite bathroom; open plan lounge/diner with access to balcony; kitchen with integrated appliances.

Chain free and offered with vacant possession, the property is sold with the use of a secure underground tandem car parking space and an additional storage unit measuring 2.5m by 2.5m.

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