A generously sized 2 bedroom apartment. This one is on the 3rd floor of the award-winning Greenhouse development. Located in a pioneering building for sustainable development and technology, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Greenhouse apartments are distinctly designed inside and out; design has not been forsaken for functionality. Part refurbishment of a classic 1930’s building, the design ethos embraces the history of the building with exposed concrete, timber and brickwork combined with contemporary statement colours, fabrics and retro-chic furniture all looking out over the diverse cityscape of Leeds city centre.

The concept for Greenhouse is unique yet refreshingly simple; a collection of distinctive homes and offices powered by sustainable energy, with a strong emphasis on community spirit. The design, on-site amenities, renewable energy and residents of this building have all made this possible. Greenhouse represents a new way of life that unites and delivers all the dynamics desired for modern sustainable living. Winner of multiple awards including the UK Green Building Council award for Sustainability, Greenhouse is a building that is years ahead of its time.
A part refurbishment of a classic 1930’s building, the design ethos embraces the history of the building with exposed concrete, timber and brickwork combined with contemporary statement colours, fabrics and retro-chic furniture. The combination of rooftop wind turbines, solar panels, ground source heating, and central rain and grey water tanks create sustainable energy to support everyday living and working. These technologies combine to reduce utility bills by as much as 60% and reduce carbon emissions of each home by around 1 tonne per year.
The spacious courtyard provides the ideal setting for socialising with neighbours, and on-site amenities such as the gym, deli, events space and vintage bike club, not to mention the nearby allotments, only help to strengthen the sense of community.
