Whalley Range
Tilsam properties is proud to announce the commencement of 24/26 Whalley Road redevelopment, a stunning Victorian mansion block that is being redeveloped into 30 apartments. The subject property comprises a three/ four storey, late Victorian detached building which has been more recently extended to the rear which is constructed of brick beneath a pitched slated roof. The building is not listed, but is within the Whalley Range Conservation Area. As such, the redevelopment of the building will need to be in keeping with the local character of the area. Upon completion, the property will comprise 28 apartments consisting of a mix of 1, 2 and 3 beds, with a number of duplex apartments. Apartment sizes vary, with the one bedroom apartments ranging in size from 347 sq ft to 667 sq ft, two bedroom apartments ranging in size from 507 sq. ft. to 876 sq. ft. and three bedroom apartments 941 sq. ft. to 1,104 sq. ft.

The windows are timber single glazed to the front and uPVC double glazed units to the rear which are in keeping with the Conservation Area designation. The building is currently in the process of redevelopment to provide 30 apartments consisting of a mix of 1 and 2 bed units. The interior has been stripped back in preparation of further works as outlined in the plans.

Macro location
Manchester is the administrative and commercial capital of the North and benefits from excellent transport links. The Metrolink tram system links the city centre with Bury to the north and Altrincham to the south. In addition, there are also spurs to Salford Quays and Eccles, with further recent extensions now open. Manchester benefits from one of the most comprehensive motorway networks in the country with access to the M62, M6 and M56 via the M60 Orbital motorway. Rail services to London Euston are available in approximately 2 hours, and Manchester and Liverpool International Airports are situated 10 and 35 miles respectively from the City Centre. Census data shows that Manchester has a population of 503,100. In socio-economic terms Manchester has a high proportion of Municipal Dependency (22.42%) and Urban Intelligence (22.31%) when compared with the national averages of 6.73% and 7.35% respectively.

Micro location
The site is situated within Whalley Range, approximately 2 miles south of Manchester city centre. The area is predominantly residential with large Victorian houses on mature, tree lined avenues. The houses are typically two or three storeys in height, constructed using red brick with stone detailing and slate pitched roofs. We consider there will be a good level of demand for the completed apartments particularly from professionals and families looking to be located in this area. Whalley Range benefits from excellent locational characteristics lying to the south of Manchester which is a major economic centre. The government’s long term proposal for a ‘Northern Powerhouse’ is helping to build confidence in the region and is attracting further investment to the North of England.
