2 bedroom penthouse for sale

REF: JC0739 - The Malt House was originally built in 1891 and was previously part of Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries. It is a prime example of the industrial architecture from the Victorian era and was home to one of the three surviving malt house kilns in the country. In 2014 the grade II listed building was converted to 25 different apartments and won an award in the Residential Retrofit Design category at the Society of British and International Design (SBID) Awards.
When converting the building Maggie Ryan was keen to keep the site’s legacy while still meeting the demands of modern living and it truly shows. Drawing on inspiration from the building’s original features and former historic industrial past, the team carefully restored antique pieces such as the exposed steel and wooden beams, and then dressed and incorporated hard and soft furnishings to truly enhance the historic features. Modern and traditional fixtures and fittings that were respectful of the buildings historic past were added throughout which can really be seen throughout this penthouse apartment.

With over 1,270sqft of living space this penthouse apartment is bigger than most houses. 

The open-plan living area is expansive, bathed in natural light with breathtaking views of the cathedral. The design maximises the flow between the living, dining, and kitchen spaces, creating a seamless transition between areas while maintaining distinct zones for each function creating a superb space to entertain or just unwind after a long day. The balcony provides the perfect place to sit out and take in the views on those warmer evenings. 
The utility room just off of the main living area embodies both form and function and despite its compact size feels very organised.

The large main bedrooms most striking feature is its soaring high ceilings, which create a sense of grandeur and airiness and at the far end of the bedroom, an intimate seating area is arranged by the window, featuring plenty of storage and is the perfect space for quiet moments of reflection, a morning coffee, or unwinding with a book.
The master suite flows seamlessly into a bespoke dressing area with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and the loft space has also been converted for additional storage.
The en-suite shower room  finishes off this bedroom perfectly with a private sanctuary of indulgence.
The second bedroom much like the master is spacious and also benefits from vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and plenty of character.
Finally the main bathroom continues the trend of space with a bath, his & hers sinks and W.C.

Outside the property is accessed via secure electric double gates which lead to the parking area where there are two allocated parking spaces and additional visitor parking if required. Access to the building itself is via a security coded front entrance door leading to the communal area where you will find the lift that needs a key to access the penthouse with its own private landing.
