A rare opportunity has come up to live in a historic building in one of the 'world's coolest neighbourhoods'. A three-bed duplex flat, which was the original show apartment at Murrays' Mills in the heart of Ancoats , has gone on the market for the first time - and it's a standout property. First constructed in 1797 by the Murray brothers, the world’s oldest steam-powered cotton mill was restored and reinvented into an in-demand residential apartment complex.
All but one wing remains, with some of the original engine houses and the chimney stacks retained. The development is now made up of Grade II and II* listed buildings, a new-build block and a stunning townhouse, and has previously won the prestigious RIBA award. Apartment 57 has now been listed for sale with Reside estate agents for £825,000.
