11-21 Turner Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester

Set on the second floor of a red brick building with sandstone detailing, this one-bedroom apartment sits within the industrial fabric of Manchester’s Northern Quarter. With exposed brick walls, timber ceilings, and original beams throughout, the home offers a warm and tactile interior rooted in the building’s past.

The Space

The apartment faces south-west, drawing natural light through large industrial-style windows that span one side of both the living area and bedroom. Entry is into a hallway with two storage cupboards, leading directly into the main living space. Here, exposed brick frames the windows, while wood flooring and timber ceilings bring warmth and texture. The open-plan layout positions the kitchen just off the living area - a U-shaped arrangement with grey cabinetry and wood countertops that continue the natural palette of the home.

The bedroom is generous in size and mirrors the material language of the main living space, with exposed beams, timber ceilings, and the same warm flooring underfoot.

The bathroom offers a bath with an overhead shower, green painted walls, and black-and-white patterned floor tiles that lend a timeless feel. A console sink and traditional heated towel rail complete the space.

The Area

Turner Street sits in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter - a vibrant district where the neighbourhood houses a dynamic blend of independent galleries, cafés, and creative spaces. Highlights include the iconic Mackie Mayor, brunch favourites such as Foundation and Federal, and local design-led shops like Nordic Muse and Deadstock General Store. Cultural spots such as Egoiste Gallery and Unitom Bookshop add depth to the area’s creative rhythm, while music venues like Band on the Wall speak to its long-standing artistic spirit.

The apartment is also perfectly placed for everyday convenience. Just moments away lie the Arndale and Exchange Square, offering a wide range of retail, dining, and transport options. Neighbouring Ancoats and New Islington extend the lifestyle offering even further, with canalside cafés, bakeries, and studios just a short stroll away.

Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria train stations are both within a 10-minute walk, with Piccadilly offering direct trains to London Euston in just two hours. For drivers, the M56, M60, and M62 are easily accessible, and Manchester International Airport is just 25 minutes by car.
