WELCOME TO BANK HOUSE
Bank House is a development of 13 contemporary apartments, situated in the beating heart of Withington village in South Manchester.
Designed with environmentally friendly and energy saving features, these high quality and thoughtful one and two bedroom apartments are an ideal urban retreat for both first time buyers and local people.
Living at Bank House, you will be located a few steps away from the many amenities of the vibrant and bohemian village of Withington with its numerous shops, restaurants and eateries. Withington has seen much regeneration and investment in recent years, and with further redevelopment planned for the future, the village has become an exciting place to live that’s very much on the up.
Bank House is connected to the old Nat West bank building in Withington village. This Grade 2 listed Gothic building is commonly referred to as one of the most outstanding buildings on Withington’s High Street.
The development is conveniently close to commuter routes. Buses run regularly along Wilmslow Road, providing easy access to Manchester city centre. Additionally, the National Cycle Network passes through the centre of the village.
Withington is well connected to main transport arteries and the motorway network. Manchester airport is only a short distance away and is easily accessible.
You’ll find Bank House in the heart of South Manchester at: Swinbourne Grove, Withington, Manchester M20 4AF.
ABOUT BANK HOUSE
Finished to a very high specification, these apartments nestle within an attractive four storey apartment building just off Wilmslow Road on Swinbourne Grove, with a lift serving all floors.
The exterior of the building is finished with textured brickwork in light tones with a bronze coloured zinc cladding to the top floor, colour coded window reveals, and a high performance aluminium window system. The building has been thoughtfully designed, giving consideration to the aesthetics and scale of the surrounding architecture.
A paved pathway leads from Swinbourne Grove through a pleasant green planted area with blossom trees welcoming you to the front entrance. Once inside the building, the quality timber panelled finish of the entrance hall makes an immediate statement, delivering a minimalist Japanese feel to the interior design of the space.
The apartments are designed with large windows and high ceiling heights to welcome in lots of natural light, and each property has a good aspect, giving a sense of wellbeing. The ventilation systems ensure a good flow of fresh air, maintaining temperatures at comfortable levels, making your living experience more pleasurable.
The building has a secure undercroft parking area with additional disabled parking spaces and vehicle charging points. An integrated bike store is accessed from the parking area.

A SUSTAINABLE WAY OF LIFE
You can be certain that when you move into your new home at Bank House, it has been built with the future in mind. Not just the future of the building, but also the needs of its inhabitants and the impact on the environment around us, locally and globally. We are committed to using the latest technology and innovative construction techniques, to create sustainable homes from the ground up. Wherever possible, we try to use environmentally friendly materials and minimise the use of the planet’s limited resources.
Each apartment is powered by its own individual air source heat pump system which can be fully controlled via a mobile app, from wherever you are. Energy savings are increased further by using inverter technology and also highly insulated walls help to drastically cut your heating bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
With careful consideration given to long term sustainability and our holistic design approach to the future life of the building and its residents, we are confident that Bank House has been built to last.
