Apartment , Lockes Yard, Great Marlborough Street, Manchester

This highly spacious apartment benefits from an open plan living room with 2 generous sized balconies which run the full length of the apartment. The current owners have styled the living/kitchen area with matt bottle green feature walls set against white, which complement the antique brown parquet flooring perfectly. The floor to ceiling windows, leading to one of the full-apartment-length balconies, make the already generous space feel even bigger than it is. The green artificial grass that runs down the balconies maintain the earthy tone vibe that flows through the apartment.

A modern fully fitted kitchen completes the open plan living/dining space and has its own window, a rarity in a city centre apartment, creating a light and airy space while allowing excellent ventilation for those with a culinary inclination. Modern integrated appliances including an electric oven, hob, fridge, dishwasher, freezer and extractor fan accompany neutral-coloured cabinets perfectly. A stainless-steel backsplash, set above a natural stone worktop, provides an easy to maintain cooking area that is of an obvious high build quality.

Both bedrooms are excellent sized doubles with the master benefiting from en suite shower room complete with walk-in shower cubicle, decorated with stylish grey tiles that follow the theme from the master bedroom itself. The master bedroom uses dark greys, blacks and neutral greys to give an incredibly modern feel. Complete with large built-in wardrobes and access to the same balcony as the living room, the space is well ventilated, bright and has a real luxury feel running through it.

The second bedroom is only fractionally smaller than the master, is decorated in a natural blue with the same grey carpet as the master. The room boasts full-length windows and an entrance to the 2nd balcony which runs the length of the apartment. Currently used as a dressing room by the current owners, it could easily fit a double bed and stand-alone wardrobes if needed.

There is a stylish bathroom suite off the hallway, upgraded with black slate tiles throughout. The fixtures and fittings in the bathroom are of a high standard and the room fits in perfectly with the overall atmosphere of the apartment.

The hallway is stylishly painted in warm canvas and has 2 storage cupboards, which would be suitable to store small suitcases, shoes and coats.

This apartment comes with a secure allocated parking space which is undoubtedly the best of any apartment in the building. There are not many apartments in the city centre where you can get from your car to your 4th floor apartment in less than a minute. With only two apartments on the landing as you exit the elevator, there will never be a need to queue for an elevator in Locke's Yard.
