Barrel Yard Overview
The scheme is part of the wider regeneration project for The Queen’s Brewery area. An historic Grade II Listed building which became a landmark of the city and served as the headquarters for legendary Manchester brewers Hydes for over 100 years, The Queen’s Brewery sadly closed its doors for the final time in 2012, leaving this beautiful period building to stand empty and abandoned; a stark reminder of Manchester’s industrial past.
Fast-forward two years and a new generation is now set to be exposed to the hand-fed hoppers and romantic clock tower which marks the former Victorian brewery’s history, as new life is breathed into the building through a refined conversion which has seen it transformed into high quality residential accommodation.
The development offers attractive, sustainable homes for those who want to live close to the city centre but desire a quiet, secure environment. The communal area, private courtyards and parking spaces ensure compliance with the required amount of amenity space: each townhouse has a front and rear garden with private parking space, while for the apartment block there is a communal garden and car park.
