Description

From Embroidery To Elegance: Live In Preston’s Most Unique Duplex. This Victorian gem gives you gorgeous light, a huge vaulted ceiling living space and easy access to the heart of the city - with a layout that winds upward like gold thread around a bobbin.

Let’s start at the top - because that’s where the magic happens.

Occupying the upper level of The Goldthread Works, this open-plan living space makes the most of the building’s industrial heritage.

High vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and traditional multi-pane windows flood the space with natural light. There’s room for your sofa, a large dining table and even a workspace - with a sleek modern kitchen that features Corian worktops, an island unit and a stylish mix of light wood and dark cabinetry.

Head down the spiral staircase - like a spool of thread - you’ll find two double bedrooms, a stylish main bathroom and a smart en-suite shower room off the main bedroom.

The crisp white decoration and gorgeous wood flooring throughout bring a calm, cohesive feel. And there’s handy storage too.

Set within the former Stephen Simpson gold thread and embroidery factory that dates back to 1860’s, this is one of Preston’s most iconic buildings - just a short stroll from Winckley Square, the city centre shops, train station and the UCLan campus.

So if you’ve been waiting for a home with character, city-centre convenience and a story to tell - you’ve just found it.

About Michael Bailey, Powered by Keller Williams, Preston

29 Manor Avenue, Penwortham, Preston PR1 0XH

Not all estate agents are the same - and neither are their clients.

That’s why we don’t start with a sales pitch. We start with a simple question:

“What’s important to you about your move?”

Because when we understand your reasons for selling, we can tailor everything - from the strategy to the marketing - to deliver exactly what you need.

We work with a select number of clients at any one time. Why?

Because we believe you deserve full focus, not divided attention.

This means more time, more care, and ultimately, better results.

Our approach is built around two non-negotiables:

✅ Delivering the highest possible price for your property

✅ Doing it with as little stress as possible

From Preston and South Ribble to the Fylde Coast, we’re proud to represent sellers who expect more - more service, more expertise, and more value.

From weekly training and global best practices to standout social media exposure, we stay ahead - so your home does too.

Estate agency has changed.

If you're open to a smarter, more service-led way to sell your home, we’d love to show you what that looks like.
