Albion Works is a mix of sizes and eras of build but is always an appealing purchase for a range of buyers. With this one being in the converted mill with an internal garden view it really will be your slice of paradise in the hustle and bustle of Manchester.
Situated on the ground floor you access the apartment in block 6 by walking through the gated development and past the gardens into the communal hall for just a handful of other apartments. You are a short walk from the communal entrance (all while being able to avoid lifts and stairs making this apartment mobility friendly).
You enter the duplex into a larger than expected hall that has access to all the ground floor rooms and space for a huge storage unit (that even has enough space for the cats to call home!). The hallway and stairs have been refloored while the property has been redecorated throughout.
Into the heart of the home - the open plan living kitchen. This is the living embodiment of what converted mill living is all about. The blend of the industrial past with the large window which runs the height of the duplex with the pillar in the corner of the apartment fits seamlessly into the modern architecture and high end finish of the kitchen and living room. This room feels perfectly proportioned as there's more than enough space for table and chairs, sofa, TV unit, sideboard and of course a Christmas tree when the time rolls around again. Despite the large windows, the apartment holds the heat well as the current vendors have found to their surprise but they still spent money and time to upgrade the heating system. The kitchen is fully integrated and could be the perfect entertaining space for when you have guests...well the party is always in the kitchen.
Finishing off the ground floor you have a double bedroom that is currently used as a home office when the vendors work from home but has previously fit a double bed easily. With the handy storage cupboard under the stairs you won't be short of storage. Talking of which there is another storage cupboard in the hallway next to the bathroom which has a high end finish as well but most importantly an actual bath!
Up the stairs to the mezzanine level, there is a vast bedroom with space for a dressing area, king size bed and views over the lower level. The bedroom space upstairs also has it's own en-suite. The space is versatile though and people have used the dressing room as home office spaces, put sofas up there and more making the space work for them as opposed to prescriptive layouts in other apartments locally.
Care has been taken to ensure no work is left for the next buyer making this the true definition of turn key home which will appeal to first time buyers and investors alike. Investors could all expect to receive in excess of £1400PCM offering a strong return on investment.
If that all sounds like perfection wait until you hear more about the location. You're a stones throw away from New Islington Metrolink stop, easy walking distance from the Northern Quarter, a 15 min stroll to Piccadilly train station, a short drive to the M60 and of course you have gyms, theatres, bars, restaurants, shops and more on your doorstep in Ancoats. It's easy to see why Ancoats is regularly voted one of the top places to live in Greater Manchester and you're in the heart of it all.
If this sounds like it could be the one for you make sure you pick up the phone and quote GY0737 today.

Vendor's favourite features: “The natural light is amazing all year round – our plants have definitely appreciated it. In the evenings it feels really calm and cosy, especially in winter. We also love how adaptable the space is. We’ve had the bedroom downstairs and the office on the mezzanine, and it’s been great being able to switch things around when you fancy a change. There’s also more storage than we expected, which makes it easy to keep everything uncluttered.
We use the communal green all the time – whether it’s taking the dog out, sitting with a coffee, or even working from there when the weather’s nice.
We love walking to Mayfield Park or the marina in Ancoats for a morning coffee. When you don’t feel like going into town, there are plenty of Deliveroo options, plus a Londis just around the corner for snack runs.”
