It’s the best of both worlds at Royal Mills
New build properties are often seen as the ideal choice by homebuyers but confusion appears to exist over what actually constitutes a new build property as many purchasers don’t often realize that new build developments include converted properties.
International developer ING Real Estate Development, who are responsible for the restoration of the historic Royal Mills development in Ancoats has just released the latest phase of it’s popular scheme with buyers able to choose from a wide range of apartments either in the new build or in the original mill buildings that date back as far as 1818.
According to Will Rees, Development Manager for ING Real Estate, Royal Mills has something unique unlike any other scheme in the city, “Whether buyers prefer modernity over history, we can offer the same new build high specification, energy efficiency and building guarantees across all our apartments but with the added advantage that you’re buying into a part of Manchester’s unique heritage, after all this is the epicenter where the industrial revolution was ignited.”
The 4 year scheme has been very carefully overseen by regeneration company New East Manchester to ensure the careful mix of restored Edwardian and Victorian buildings blends seamlessly with the new build. And what helps bind the old with the new is the ultra modern glass atrium in the centre of the complex designed by award winning architect Mike Franklin. The sweeping roof allows natural light to pour into the courtyard whilst ensuring residents with apartments that open on to the area can open their windows.
“The glass atrium really is a hidden gem and an architectural statement we are rightly proud of, says Rees. “We invested £1m to create a stunning centre piece that forms the heart of the complex. It’s always been our long term vision to create a real sense of community where residents live alongside businesses and have access to specialist restaurants and retailing.
All apartments enjoy an unusually high attention to detail rarely found in city centre apartments. Luxury exudes from every room and can be seen most notably in the Villeroy & Boch bathroom suites that showcase the Hansgrohe fittings and luxury flooring.
Prices of these homes start from £120,000, ranging up to £355,000. The Royal Mills sales office is located on Redhill Street, off Great Ancoats Street. For more information on the current prices and availability, purchasers are asked to call the development’s sales team on 0161 2379435.
