Stunning 3500 sq ft penthouse in a Grade II listed Victorian factory conversion on Cable Street, with two parking spaces.

Description
Savills are delighted to present this unique 3,500 sq ft penthouse in a Grade II listed Victorian factory conversion, combining modern open-plan living with original industrial character.

This impressive penthouse apartment is set within the former T Barlow Brothers Umbrella Factory, a Grade II listed building dating back to the mid/late 19th century. This stunning conversion retains much of the building’s original industrial character, including exposed brickwork, large factory style windows and striking vaulted ceilings.

The centrepiece of the home is the exceptionally large open-plan living area, which combines the kitchen, dining and sitting spaces. The room benefits from excellent natural light thanks to a long run of original windows and overhead skylights. The modern kitchen features a generous island and extensive storage, making it both practical and well suited to entertaining. The ground floor also includes a cinema room with hidden entry, a separate office, a gym studio, shower room and a useful boot room.

Upstairs, there are three spacious double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en suite shower rooms which are both finished to a high standard. There is a further family bathroom completed to the same standard but also featuring a freestanding bath.

Externally there are two parking spaces located in the Express Networks 3 building.

Located at the intersection of New Cross, New Islington and Manchester’s vibrant Northern Quarter, the 8 Cable Street building is ideally located with an array of bars, shops and restaurants on your doorstep.

This rare opportunity to secure a large, characterful home within an iconic Victorian building is not to be missed. The apartment offers an extraordinary amount of space, a flexible layout and a thoughtful blend of period features and contemporary finishes.

Location
Cable Street sits in an excellent location positioned between Northern Quarter and Ancoats. Manchester Victoria Station is a short distance (0.5m) allowing quick and easy access to train and tram links.

For cultural activities, locally residents are only 0.3m from Manchester's famous Northern Quarter or the Ancoats neighbourhood, where you'll find an excellent choice of independent bars, restaurants and music venues.
