A Grade II listed retro apartment with a colourful interior.
This South-East facing property occupies the corner position of a Grade II listed building, originally a cotton mill in the 1800s. The apartment retains many of the building’s original industrial features, including exposed red brick, arched high ceilings, and structural details. Six large anthracite steel-framed windows run throughout the property, filling the apartment with natural light and offering views of Reddish Vale to the east.
The interior has been carefully designed in a bold, modern-retro style with 1970s influences, deliberately contrasting the industrial character of the building with colourful and contemporary luxe finishes. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is designed to be social and versatile. The kitchen combines rich red cabinets and light pink walls, featuring a home bar complete with bar optics and LEDs. The vibrant paprika three-seater couch is balanced with deep teal walls and contrasting black accents in the lounge, complemented by mid-century inspired furniture. The open-plan layout allows the kitchen, dining and living areas to flow naturally, while each space retains its own distinct character and colour palette.
The master bedroom walls are a rich terracotta to complement the brickwork and create a warm, cosy atmosphere. It benefits from an ensuite, featuring a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has been designed as a home office and occasional guest bedroom, with deep plum walls and olive-green accents to contrast the red brick. A generous walnut double desk provides a practical workspace, while the pull-out bed allows the room to be easily adapted for guests. Across the hall, the main bathroom features a rich, earthy palette with deep red-brown walls. Striped detail has been painted over the existing tiles, and brass highlights add warmth and a vintage feel to the space.
Overall, the property combines a historic industrial setting with a carefully curated, colourful interior. Original architectural features sit alongside 1970s-inspired furniture, contemporary details and bold, individual colour palettes, creating a distinctive home with a warm, eclectic and artistic character.
