Smithfield Buildings, Tib Street, Northern Quarter

Julie Twist Properties are delighted to present this characterful loft-style apartment set on the third floor of the iconic Smithfield Building - a much-loved 19th-century warehouse conversion in the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter.

The apartment spans 1400 square feet and is predominantly open plan in its layout, with the sense of space and volume being a defining feature throughout. Ideal for buyers seeking character and architectural interest over conventional room division, the layout embraces the openness and light that define true loft living. At its heart is a striking open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that truly captures the spirit of loft living. Exposed brickwork, generous ceiling heights, timber beams and large windows give the space a wonderful sense of light, texture, and scale.

The kitchen, dining and living areas flow naturally together, creating an easy, sociable space for both everyday living and entertaining. This level also includes a contemporary three-piece bathroom and a well-designed storage area that keeps the living space feeling open and uncluttered.

Above the main living area, the additional accommodation is arranged across two open mezzanine levels. One level houses a second bedroom, while the other is a generous, flexible space currently used as a study / home office / snug, but equally suitable as an occasional third bedroom. Both mezzanine areas are open to the space below, reinforcing the apartment's loft-style feel and making the most of the natural light and architectural volume.

Set beyond the mezzanine levels is the principal bedroom suite, which provides a more private and enclosed retreat. This generous space features a large skylight that floods the room with natural light, along with a private ensuite bathroom accessed via sliding doors. This is the only fully enclosed bedroom within the apartment.
