The Light House - where else in Manchester can you work and play so close to home?
The Northern Quarter is city living as you always dreamed it could be.
Take the vibrancy and can-do individuality of Hoxton and Shoreditch in London, add in the architecture and attitude from New York's Lower East Side. Then finish off with Manchester's famed friendliness and originality to find your perfect neighbourhood.
This is a unique area of historic Victorian and early 20th century factories, warehouses, offices and fashion houses. Most of these historical and architecturally important buildings have been preserved together with the grid-like street plan.
Northern Quarter residents have fought hard to retain their independence - to keep their neighbourhood free from chains, franchises and identikit bars and businesses.
And the Light House is a beacon of individual design from an independent developer, Stonehurst Estates, which prides itself on creating unique homes people are proud to live in.
Whether you're working for the Bank of New York a short stroll over Piccadilly Gardens or a regular rail user commuting from Piccadilly or Victoria train stations - both just a few minutes from your front door - the Light House is perfectly positioned for stress-free city living.
There is substantial, secure underground car-parking available to buy at the Light House, combined with a large multi-storey NCP car park across the street.
Plus, the efficient and frequent tram network rolls along High Street right by your building.
Manchester International Airport is just 15 minutes by train from Piccadilly Station.
In the Northern Quarter itself, there is an eclectic mix of retail outlets, from the world-famous Afflecks Palace to young, cutting-edge fashion designers and music stores and numerous second-hand emporia.
Across the street from the Light House, in the Arndale Centre, has opened an impressive fresh food hall with fishmongers, cheese stalls, charcuteries and fine delicatessens selling fresh bread and organic produce, making a genuine alternative to supermarket shopping. Manchester Markets also operates specialist craft, fashion, jewellery, farmers and fair trade markets in and around the Northern Quarter and Piccadilly Gardens throughout the year.
For those in need of more mainstream shopping the whole of Manchester's world-class retail offering is on your doorstep. The Arndale Centre is round the corner, along with bustling Market Street. Harvey Nichols and Selfridges are a leisurely walk away.
