Set within the striking Old Technological College on Preston Road, this one-bedroom loft-style apartment combines architectural character with sleek, contemporary design. Located moments from Preston Park and the vibrant café culture of Preston Circus, it offers modern living in a landmark Victorian building known for its soaring ceilings, tall arched windows, and decorative brick façade.

This apartment sits on the ground and mezzanine levels, enjoying an impressive double-height ceiling in the main living area.
