Housed inside a converted 19th-century red-brick mill, this Manchester apartment trades the bland for the characterful – soaring ceilings, full-height period windows, and exposed brickwork create a living space that earns its industrial credentials. The calm main bedroom makes for a proper retreat after a day out, and the modern kitchen handles longer stays with ease. Castlefield's Roman ruins and Victorian canal basins are on your doorstep, Manchester's independent cafe and bar scene beckons, and the Peak District National Park is a thirty-minute drive away when the city calls for a break.
