THE PRESSWORKS

The Pressworks is a stunning development of 48 one- and two-bedroom apartments & a rear duplex mews house.

Steeped in history and dating back to the 1800s, the site was formerly occupied by a Pressworks. The Grade II* listed building has now been restored and converted into centrepiece loft apartments.

Blending old world with new, a pair of new builds flank the listed building, accommodating 44 apartments, set around a landscaped courtyard.

The Pressworks has also restored a structure to the rear into a unique new duplex mews house.

In another subtle nod to history, the site's former press will be retained and displayed as a new feature within the courtyard.
