BRADFORD has been undergoing something of a regeneration in recent years, with a palpable pride in the city shining forth, as residents and businesses strive to improve this once run-down and poorly-loved Yorkshire town.

One company that is doing its part to put Bradford back on the map - for all the right reasons - is experienced local developer, Priestley Homes (priestleyhomes.co.uk), with their rejuvenation of a unique, but long-neglected and dilapidated historic building.

The award-winning* Conditioning House, a Grade II listed building on the corner of Canal Road and Cape Street, was built in the early 1900s, and was the only council-run centre in the country for the testing of wool. In its heyday, almost 70 per cent of all wool produced in the UK was brought in to check and control the moisture content.

The building is erected on four-storeys and basement, around three sides of an open court. Major investment has been injected into a new future for the impressive building, to create 152 luxury, Manhattan Loft-style penthouse apartments, available with one- and two-bedrooms, and generous sizes ranging from 40 square metres to more than 100 square metres.

In addition, the lower rooms will house Grade A office space, gymnasium and café, with the two original mill buildings joined by a soaring glass roof, creating a light and spacious atrium beneath.

These desirable apartments are finished to the highest specification, with integrated appliances and high-quality units in the kitchen; stylish contemporary white porcelain and chrome fittings in the bathroom and en suite (where fitted); grey or oak laminated floors and carpet; and ceramic panel heaters throughout.

Perfectly situated in the heart of BD1, and immediately adjacent to Forster Square retail park, the scheme is only 10 minutes’ walk from the fantastic amenities of the £260m Broadway shopping centre. The railway station, at Forster Square, is less than 10 minutes’ walk, providing regular services direct to Leeds city centre, with a journey time of 25 minutes.
