The building is a beautiful, classic, red brick factory, originally the Spratts pet food factory. It is of historical importance as it pioneered the concept of factory production. The entrance of the building is an industrial courtyard, where artists and sculptors, giving the development an exciting atmosphere, use the ground floor units. Internationally renowned artists have their work made here and it is frequently seen in the yard.
This stunning loft space, on the second floor has been fitted with a beautiful architectural salvage and high quality materials and contemporary fittings. Entrance to the property is via a newly decorated staircase.
