About this home
The Penthouse at Century Buildings
Created from two apartments and occupying the entire seventh floor of Century Buildings, this remarkable five-bedroom penthouse offers approximately 2,777 sq ft of internal accommodation, together with an expansive south-west-facing rooftop terrace of approximately 1,000 sq ft and two secure underground valet parking spaces.
Exclusive key access opens directly onto the penthouse floor, immediately establishing the sense of privacy and scale that defines the property.
The Property
The principal living and dining space forms the heart of the penthouse: an exceptionally generous setting for everyday living and entertaining, with a beautifully appointed SieMatic kitchen, integrated appliances and adjoining utility space.
Throughout, the contemporary interior is complemented by an impressive specification. Underfloor heating and air conditioning provide year-round comfort, while an integrated Bang & Olufsen sound system and Crestron smart-home technology control elements including automated blinds.
A dedicated games and entertaining area, complete with bar and pool table, provides a further informal living space and reinforces the penthouse's credentials as a home designed as much for entertaining as it is for day-to-day living.
The accommodation extends to five double bedrooms and four bathrooms. Two principal bedroom suites incorporate fitted wardrobes and dressing areas leading to their respective en-suite bathrooms, while a third bedroom also benefits from an en suite. Two further double bedrooms are served by the main bathroom.
The Terrace
Above it all is the penthouse's defining feature.
Extending to approximately 1,000 sq ft and enjoying a south-west-facing aspect, the private rooftop terrace provides an extraordinary amount of outside space for a Manchester city-centre home.
Its scale allows for distinct areas for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation, with an elevated outlook across the surrounding cityscape. Substantial private outside space of this scale is relatively unusual in the city centre, giving the penthouse another dimension entirely.
Century Buildings
Century Buildings is an established Grade II listed residential conversion occupying a prominent position on St Mary's Parsonage, opposite Parsonage Gardens and close to the River Irwell.
Residents benefit from a 24-hour concierge service and secure access, while this penthouse includes two underground valet parking spaces.
The location places Deansgate and Spinningfields moments away, with many of Manchester's restaurants, shops, offices and cultural destinations within easy walking distance. Manchester Victoria station is also readily accessible, while road connections provide convenient access to the wider motorway network.
For all the advantages of its city-centre position, it is the scale and privacy of the penthouse that make this such an unusual proposition: an entire private floor, approximately 2,777 sq ft of internal accommodation, five bedrooms, extensive entertaining space and a rooftop terrace approaching 1,000 sq ft.
A genuinely distinctive Manchester home, combining remarkable proportions, privacy and exceptional outside space in one of the city's established landmark residential buildings.
