Only £132,000 to own a piece of Stockport’s history

With only seven luxury apartments on offer at Miller Homes’ SK South II development in the Higher Hillgate Conservation area, interest has been very high since sales opened on Saturday 16th June. The superb development is the jewel in the crown of the highly successful Miller Homes’ ‘SK South’ in which 94 contemporary apartments were sold out in less than 12 months.

SK South II is a listed building and was once the Foreman’s home and office for the famous Christies’ hat works, which dates back to the 19th century. Due to its originality and history, it ranks as one of Stockport’s most important buildings. Miller Homes has sympathetically restored and converted the property into seven individually designed 1 and 2 bedroom luxury apartments and one duplex.

“SK South II will be a prime example of the quality and originality of the apartments that the UK’s largest privately owned housebuilder has to offer” said Sue Warwick, Sales and Marketing Director of Miller Homes.

As well as retaining the existing building’s architectural merit and building arts the conversion has restored or recreated many of the interior features like the staircase, cornice and windows. These contrast with the contemporary designs of the apartments, which have state-of-the-art kitchens and interior style that includes tall ceilings and luxurious bathrooms and en-suites.

The fantastic two bedroom duplex offers just under 1,000sq ft of living space and is attractively priced at £199,950. The interior style of this apartment is a blank canvas that is waiting to be transformed in to a funky city-centre style pad or an executive’s home away from home. Original features like sash windows, tall ceilings epitomises the best in apartment living and offers large open plan space, beech wood doors and chrome finish ironmongery.

You enter the apartment through a private hallway with stairs off to the upper level. The downstairs opens out in to one great space. This combines the kitchen/dining and living areas. The wide, stylish kitchen is the focal point of the room and will be stunning. It has a choice of modern kitchen design that incorporates stainless steel oven, hob and chimney style extractor hood along with integrated fridge/freezer and washer/drier.

Upstairs, there is the master bedroom with en-suite, a second bedroom and luxury bathroom. The choice of Porcelanosa tiles, contemporary showers and sanitaryware confirms the quality of the build and attention to detail that is evident throughout the development.

Outside the SK South II development shares a central courtyard, providing car parking along with open spaces and landscaped grounds for rest and relaxation.

The location of SK South II will appeal to purchasers. In the heart of Stockport town centre, SK South II is within easy walking distance to Mersey Square, Grand Central areas, popular bars and restaurants. It is also just a few minutes walk from Stockport railway station, which has frequent trains to Manchester, London, Liverpool and Birmingham, making this an ideal development for commuters, especially with the planned Metro Link to Stockport.

The SK South II apartments are priced from £132,000. Sales are already reported as strong so the message from Miller Homes is to reserve now to secure one of these exclusive apartments. The marketing suite is located opposite the development on Hatters Court, Higher Hillgate and open Thursday to Monday, 10.30 am to 5.30 pm. For information visit Millerhomes.co.uk.
