An abandoned historic building on the edge of Manchester city centre, which has planning permission for a major transformation, has been put up for sale.
Bridgewater House, a Grade-II listed former canal office next to Deansgate Square in Great Jackson Street, has a price tag of £2m.
It consists of two townhouses on Chester Road built before 1787 with an extension on Crown Street dating back to 1842.

Property firm Watch This Space, which bought the site from Deansgate Square Renaker in 2021, secured permission to create 53 apartments on the site to bring the building back to life.
The £13m project also includes building a new four-storey apartment block.
Planning permission to restore the building for business uses was previously granted in 2007, but was not implemented despite the lapsed time limit being extended.
The site is now surrounded by skyscrapers with more set to be built soon alongside a new city centre primary school on a plot of land at Crown Street.
