Dating back to 1891, Wheatsheaf Works was built for the Co-operative Wholesale Society. It was the largest footwear factory in the world at the time but the building was converted by Urban Rhythm Developments back in 2011 into 172 properties, ranging from one-bedroom to four-bedroom properties. The building has been reconfigured with excellent attention to detail including the use of ornate decorative brickwork, arched feature windows and high ceilings throughout the development.

Positioned on the top floor of the iconic Grade ll listed Wheatsheaf Works Development, this stylishly appointed one-bedroom apartment has been meticulously re-designed with modern day living in mind. Accommodation, in brief, comprises a spacious entrance hall with a security intercom and storage cupboard, providing access to a bright and airy open plan dining/living/kitchen area. With two large VELUX skylights allowing a great source of natural light into the living area, the open space is beautifully presented throughout. The simple yet sophisticated kitchen includes an integrated electric oven and hob with concealed extractor fan, generous kitchen storage space and ample surface area. A well appointed double bedroom includes VELUX skylights and built-in wardrobe space. A modern fitted, three-piece family bathroom completes the accommodation on offer. Outside the development includes a fantastic communal courtyard and entertaining area, available for residents to use throughout the year. The property has the added benefit of allocated secure car-parking for one vehicle alongside readily available on-street parking directly outside the development.

The property allows for an excellent step on the property ladder or alternatively a buy to let investment with a rental income of approximately £850-£875PCM.
