Grade II listed Manchester buildings up for rent |
25 2008 |
| With high demand meaning that accommodation in Manchester is currently at a premium, renters are set to be given the opportunity to live in a pair of listed buildings. Built in 1867, the entrance lodge and the cemetery office at the Philips Park Cemetery, just off Alan Turing Way in the east of the city are to be handed over to private renters, provided that they ensure the buildings' upkeep. While the pair of outhouses have fallen into a state of relative disrepair over the 20 years since they were last in use, they are expected to attract great interest, particularly given that they were designed by Alfred Darbyshire, the celebrated architect behind Manchester's famous Palace Theatre. Under the proposed scheme, the council will lease the Grade II listed properties out to tenants for minimal rent in return for general maintenance and upgrading work being carried out. The east side of Manchester is currently in high demand among renters due to its affordability and the efficient public transport links to the city centre introduced after the Commonwealth Games.  |
