Set within the striking Old Technological College on Preston Road, this one-bedroom loft-style apartment combines architectural character with sleek, contemporary design. Located moments from Preston Park and the vibrant café culture of Preston Circus, it offers modern living in a landmark Victorian building known for its soaring ceilings, tall arched windows, and decorative brick façade.

This apartment sits on the ground and mezzanine levels, enjoying an impressive double-height ceiling in the main living area. Vast windows draw in the light, enhancing the sense of space and openness. The living, dining and kitchen areas flow seamlessly together — ideal for entertaining or relaxing — while pale walls and dark flooring create a chic, gallery-style aesthetic.

The kitchen has been designed with clean lines and quality in mind, featuring sleek white cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a breakfast bar with space for casual dining. There’s also a discreet cloakroom on this level, keeping the main bathroom private upstairs.

A modern staircase leads up to the mezzanine bedroom, which overlooks the living space below, giving the apartment its signature loft feel. It’s a spacious double room with fitted storage and access to a contemporary en suite bathroom, complete with a rainfall shower, smart tiling and a minimalist finish.

From the living area, doors open to a private balcony — perfect for a morning coffee or evening drink while enjoying the open outlook and sense of calm rarely found so close to the city centre.
