BARCLAY HOUSE

Heritage with simplicity

Versatile modern city living with a stylish flourish One of most ambitious and exciting new property investment projects, Barclay House, in historic Whitworth Street in the heart of Central Manchester. These ninety outstandingly stylish apartments spring from the repurposing of what was a landmark building in the heyday of city’s global commercial activity. Robustly constructed over 100 years ago, with the grandiose proportions and architectural panache typical of the period, Barclay House has an impressive stone features designed adorning an impressive, monumental neo-Renaissance front edifice. Our architects and designers have retained the building’s imposing stature while skilfully transforming the interior into a choice of practical, stylish, beautifully-equipped apartments. They provide perfect accommodation for aspiring city workers, members of the Manchester’s burgeoning academic community and those committed to living close to this exciting city’s vibrant heart. Forget the commute, Barclay House really is a great place to live, literally within a stroll of the city’s world-class universities, the celebrated teaching hospitals, the commercial centre, theatres, arenas, concert hall, cinema’s, night scene and a host of other cultural and sporting resources.

Destination Shops, arenas, sports venues, a proliferating restaurant scene, and night life possibilities. Manchester is, of course, world famous for its football and sporting heritage across the whole spectrum of activities but it is also being increasingly recognised as one of Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most vibrant, buoyant, liveable and dynamic locations. The city is world-renowned for scientific and technological innovation and has a rapidly growing digital development sector. It is a leading media hub and has a legendary music and club scene. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find an abundance of high-end shopping, endless cultural pursuits and a wonderfully diverse range of restaurants and bars, within strolling distance of Barclay House. It is within 250 metres of the main arterial pedestrian route used by 100,000-plus students to travel between the Universities and the city centre. The perfect place to enjoy everything Manchester has to offer.

Transport At the hub of a complete transport network. Your new acquisition in Barclay House could hardly be better placed to access all the places you might want or need to go; locally, regionally, nationally or internationally. It sits midway between two highly convenient network links, just 2-3 minutes stroll away. Your new residence is close to the Oxford Road regional rail network station and the ‘Deansgate’ stop on Manchester’s muchadmired and expanding Metro (tramway) System. Both connect to mainline rail interchanges servicing the whole country. ‘The Metro’ also reaches the centre and outer suburbs of the Greater Manchester conurbation and provides one of three frequent transport alternatives for reaching Manchester International Airport (the others being by bus and mainline rail). Journey time, approx. 20-30 minutes.

6 Manchester International Airport is the UK’s second largest airport, a gateway to the world, offering over 200 services to 50 million passengers a year with daily direct flights to many European and global destinations.

Numerous bus services to all parts of the city, the universities, the Airport and beyond run along Oxford Road, some 250 metres away. Some services run along Whitworth Street itself. The noteworthy sports (football, cycling, cricket, track and field, swimming) and entertainment arenas are all easily accessible from this location. In short, Barclay House is about as accessible as you can get to central and Greater Manchester, to work, study, play, or just live!

Neighbourhood A stone’s throw from everything that makes Manchester one of Europe’s most popular cities. The part of Whitworth Street in which the property lies is midway between two of the main Southern arterial routes serving Manchester. It is within a few hundred metres of the Inner Ring Road system and M57 which, in turn, leads to the M60 Outer Ring Road and all the regional and national Motorways. The immediate area was formerly a business district but this has been transformed to meet the city-living focus of more recent times. It forms part of a swathe of fashionable apartment developments spreading from the fashionable Spinningfields, Castlefield, Media City and Salford Quays areas. In recent decades, the immediate vicinity, which had the business/industrial signature of central Manchester, has changed dramatically with a profusion of largely residential neighbourhoods.

9 There is a multiplicity of convenient shopping and eating resources nearby, plus all the attributes of a highly developed community; schools, hospitals and the usual public/private service functions to hand. The development is within 7-8 minutes easy walking distance of the famous central Manchester landmarks of Albert Square, St Peter’s Square, Deansgate, Piccadilly and The Northern Quarter.

Summary The developer’s vision is that Barclay House will become known throughout Manchester’s burgeoning business, academic, medical and cultural communities as ‘the place ‘to be for a few months, a few years or a few decades; a sophisticated, super-convenient place where all the needs of a busy city life are effortlessly met. The people who live here will be too busy participating in their careers, lives and destinies to worry about the minutia of domesticity.

22 That’s all been dealt with. A place where ‘everything’ is within easy reach and where your neighbours will be lively, educated, committed ‘go-getters’ with an appetite for enjoying everything this world-famous city has to offer. Bring it on
