Built 2010/11 and it's a beauty. Plastic windows with weird vertical & horizontal detailing, gaudy red brick, a pitifully attempt at detail with some random waves, silly stone work, a dormer above the front doors. Ahhhhh, the front doors, They blend, don't you think. Really work with the Manchester vernacular, especially with that stylish security... Continue Reading →
