Beat this location!

Situated right on the water, it’s hard to find a better location. In years to come this location will be known as the Renaker district thanks to all the investment they’ve made into the area. The city centre is all walkable, with China Town, Spinningfields, the Manchester Library and the Palace Theatre all close by.

A growing district, there are restaurants and shopping options right at your doorstep and within a short stroll. Residents are also treated to a water view communal balcony to chill on.

Getting around town via public transport is a breeze, thanks to the the Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop. There are also a limited number of underground parking spaces – a rarity in new inner city developments and having one will be a great asset for the future.

Getting out of town is easy – it’s just 90 minutes to Birmingham or two hours to London by train (again, just downstairs). Getting to Liverpool or further north is also a breeze.

Manchester Universities

Manchester’s three main universities are all reachable in under 10 minutes from these new build apartments. Along with the University of Manchester, University of Salford and Manchester Metropolitan University, the Royal College of Music and the Northern Ballet School are also within walking distance.

Living at Castle Wharf Apartments Manchester

Across the two buildings, there’s a range of 1, 2 and three bedroom apartments on offer. The penthouses come in 2 or 3 bedroom options.

One Castle Wharf | 11 levels | 78 Apartments

One Bedroom Units

The one bedroom apartments range from 580 to 964 SQFT. There are three design options available; 1.A1, 1.A2 and 1.A3.

The 1.A1

Definitely a bachelor pad, the 1.A1 is a large 964 SQFT and features a large entertainers lounge and full sized dining and kitchen. As you could imagine, the bedroom is of ample size and includes a walk-in dresser and ensuite. Completing the unit is a second bathroom.

The 1.A2 & 1.A3

Very similar in design, and both facing south, the 1.A2 appears on the lower levels and is more of an investment grade unit at 580 SQFT. The A3 appears on the high levels and a corner position that affords in additional views to the west. It is also larger at 696 SQFT – featuring bigger living and kitchen areas compared to the A2.

Two Bedroom Units

There are 10 different options for 2 bedrooms in tower A, ranging in size from 861 SQFT to 1169 SQFT.

Surprisingly, none of the two bedroom units feature seperate bedrooms. A number of designs include balconies and there are a number of view options, North, East, South and West. The apartments are large enough to all feature good sized kitchens, living and dining spaces. Most of the designs are efficient with limited hallway space to maximise liveability.

Three Bedroom Units

A couple of three bedroom designs are on over, one with views over the city and the other towards Castlefield. The two designs are quite different for functionality, with the city view apartment featuring a large walk in robe and seperate kitchen. However, the dining area does feel a bit squeezed and the kitchen bar doesn’t enjoy the views over the city. The Castlefield-facing unit is a more conventional rectangular shape with its kitchen-dining-living combo enjoy more natural light. Additionally, it features a balcony.

Penthouses

Large balconies, expansive views and opulent living spaces are the features of the two and three bedroom duplex penthouse range. In all the designs, the bedrooms are located on the lower level, with the living on the top level. Does this miss out the opportunity for a sweeping luxury-top-level penthouse master? Or does it do a good job of separating the living and sleeping quarters? Only the owners of Castle Wharf Penthouses will be able to tell you. There’s only elevator access to the living level of the apartments.

Two Castle Wharf | 20 levels | 110 Apartments

One Bedroom Units

5 One bed options are available in Tower Two, ranging size from 507 to 657 SQFT. If you’re looking for a Castlefield or City view, best look at the two bed options, as all of these look over Chester road.

The designs contour to the building design and there are natural options to fit a range of tastes, including a seperate kitchen. The B2 option is the most efficient and offers one of the best combinations.

Two Bedroom Units

15 different designs from 732 to 1089 SQFT cover the 2 bedroom options. There are a number of view corridors available, across Chester road, over Castlefield or across to the city centre. It’s nice to see at least a couple of designs featuring separate bedrooms. However, these designs are encumbered by what looks to be structural walls that break up the living-dining-kitchen. Not a problem if you don’t like these spaces together, though. These are the larger apartments and would suit two professional tenants sharing, as both essentially have their own ensuite.

Some apartments have balconies and all of them have two bathrooms. The B8 design is the most efficient, some of the others look like they are fitting into the building layout – though this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Three Bedroom Units

The 1 three bedroom design had the opportunity to be the best design in the development. It is a large 1,172 SQFt and features one of the bedrooms as separate to the others. Unfortunately this isn’t the master bed, which also doesn’t face the water or the city. Good for families with a young child or an older teenager, though. The living-dining-kitchen space is nice and open, with the potential for great views. As a bonus, there’s also a balcony off of the dining area.

Penthouses

The penthouses in Tower Two are more varied, with some really spacious options. They also flip the script and have the bedrooms on the top floor and the living on the lower. This makes sense as tower two has more expansive views – being almost twice as high and on the city side.

Facilities

There’s a generous mix of amenities at Castle Wharf, complimenting the site shape and making the most of the water views. Whether you’re working, relaxing or entertaining, there are options for all occasions. Residents can enjoy:

• Unwind in the luxury Spa & Steam Room
• Enjoy exclusive facilities such as the Private Residents lounge, working facilities and entertainers kitchen
• Get into shape with the Fully Equipped Gym
• Enjoy the best security with 24/7 concierge and FOB access to the buildings.
• Chill out on the water front terrace
• Bike commute everywhere with the Residents Cycle Store

Finishes

The Castle Wharf apartments are finished to the highest standard. Residents are treated to designer finishes dotted about the apartment. The kitchens feature designer finishes and fully integrated appliances, including wine cooler. A mixture of plush carpet, tiles and high quality flooring materials have been used throughout. Double glazing is applied to all doors and windows.

The building features FOB entry systems and CCTV for security. There’s also a concierge for extra security and convenience.
