Just one property remains for sale at The Gallery, Hillcrest Homes' innovative development a mere two miles from Manchester city centre, in the heart of the historic Whalley Range urban conservation area.
The Gallery is an adventurous fusion of classical Victorian architecture and the very best contemporary design and materials. The result – 24 two-bedroom apartments of exceptional quality, each with secure off-road parking that blend seamlessly into the leafy avenues, listed villas and parkland of the surrounding area.
The building traces its origins to the wealth and enterprise of Samuel Brooks, a Lancashire businessman and industrialist of the early 19th century responsible for much of the development in the district – including this former local horse tram depot. Today, the horses are long gone and Manchester's trams run on electricity, but the elegant period façade of the depot remains, forming the centrepiece of this sensitive Hillcrest Homes refurbishment.
This last remaining apartment has unexpectedly come back onto the market and allows one lucky purchaser the chance to attain a desirable city residence which is both steeped in history yet designed for very modern living. This two bedroo front facing apartment includes carpets and a balcony which utilises the distinctive and characterful brick facade of the original building. Priced at £149,950.
The Gallery... a new home with history.
