Description
A Blue Plaque marks the building’s historic significance: once owned by Isaac Dewhirst, it was here in the 1880s Michael Marks met Dewhirst’s head cashier, Tom Spencer. Their partnership, formally established in 1894, laid the foundations for Marks & Spencer — now one of Britain’s most iconic high street retailers.
Spanning approximately 553 sq ft over two levels, the apartment is full of character. The lower floor boasts a bright, dual-aspect open-plan living area, where large warehouse-style windows flood the space with natural light. Exposed brickwork and original industrial detailing reflect the building’s past while sitting beautifully alongside contemporary finishes.
Upstairs, two generously sized double bedrooms offer charm and comfort, featuring original timber beams, sloping ceilings, and Velux-style roof windows — creating a tranquil retreat above the city streets.
Residents also enjoy access to a communal roof terrace — a hidden gem and real sun trap — ideal for summer evenings, entertaining, or simply soaking in panoramic views over Leeds.
Just a short walk from the city’s bustling shops, bars, restaurants, and excellent transport links, this apartment offers more than just a place to live — it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Leeds’ living history.
