Inside Manchester's £2m 'James Bond' penthouse

You may be thinking self-isolation wouldn't be so bad if you had a luxury property to reside in.

Well, if you have just short of £2million to spare then you could be quarantining in a flash penthouse in the city centre - fit for the likes of James Bond.

The newly refurbished four bedroom apartment in the sought-after Leafbank development in Spinningfields is on the market for a grand £1,895,000.

It's the only residential block in the area with uninterrupted panoramic views over the River Irwell and the city's towering skyline, which can be soaked up from the comfort of the huge wrap around balcony and landscaped terrace.

Located on the 15th floor, the penthouse offers almost 4,000 sq.ft. of space, which includes three bathrooms, an open plan reception room, and a walk-in wardrobe.

Adhering to what you'd expect from a modern penthouse, it comes fitted with underfloor heating; mobile controlled mood lighting; automated blinds; and a home audio system.

But in classic secret agent style, there's even a hidden keypad-coded door that leads through to a hand-carved office, with elegant mahogany furnishings, and a remarkable map-print ceiling.

The interior across the rest of the duplex is of a boujie aesthetic, featuring calm neutrals with solid wood flooring throughout the main living space and extensive hallway.

In the Italian-style kitchen, you'll find bespoke Corian work surfaces and Miele appliances, which includes a washing machine, a tumble dryer, an extra deep sink with a dishwasher and fridge/freezer, while the kitchen also boats a wine cooler and built-in coffee machine.

The master bedroom suite is lavishly decorated and boasts a free-standing bath in the immaculate en suite, and adjoining bespoke his-and-her dressing rooms, which just adds to the glamour of the apartment.

Connecting the duplex is a distinctive handcrafted spiral staircase, where you'll find a further two double guest bedrooms with Juliette balconies and an additional bathroom.

While it's currently not the time, once the lockdown and social distancing measures are lifted, this bright and airy apartment will make the perfect home for dining and entertaining guests.

Those interested should contact Knight Frank on 0121 369 0191 or head to Rightmove to read more about the property here.
