Description
Savills are delighted to present a truly unique two double bedroom apartment, in the luxurious Avro development.

Positioned in a highly sought after spot within Ancoats, this iconic building simply offers everything. Providing an extravagant infusion of heritage, character and modern high end fittings, Avro stands out as premium living accommodation, in a prime central Manchester postcode.

Built in 1825, originally Brownsfield Mill opened as a 'Room and Power Mill' along Rochdale Canal, powered by a sixty-horsepower steam engine.

Grade II* Listed, Avro was once home to A.V. Roe & Co, Britain's first aeroplane manufacturer who built the iconic Lancaster and Vulcan planes.

Being the only mill in the area to retain its original stair and tower chimney, it is now thought to be the oldest surviving mill chimney in Manchester.

The property throughout has had no expense spared. Briefly, the internal accommodation comprises of an entrance hallway leading through to a substantial open plan living, kitchen and dining area.

There are two sizeable double bedrooms, with the primary bedroom benefitting from a spectacular en suite bathroom. The main bathroom is an elegant three piece suite, featuring a freestanding bath.
