From The Owner - 
With its prime Markland Hill location a given, the respected Bolton firm of William Hargreaves Ltd saw from the outset in 2000 that Belvedere Heights could and should be the ‘jewel in their portfolio crown’ which is why they worked to the highest design and construction brief. And as well as benefitting from the general ambience of the development, Number One Belvedere Heights – which is being marketed for the first time since its original purchase off plan – has a number of attractive and rare for an apartment features reserved to it alone:
o Number One and the apartment above were initially proposed to be a semi-detached villa. However, the first couple to take out a reservation for the development wanted two flats on the first floor of the central block knocked together – with the architect then realising that the stipulated number of flats for the site could still be achieved if the envisaged villa was instead finished as two apartments.
o That is why Number One is much larger than usually found in a flat because its footprint is actually that for the ground floor of a substantial house ... and so the imposing exclusive entrance porch, the kitchen / utility room, master bedroom walk-in wardrobe and the several storage cupboards are hallmarks one would usually only expect to have for a house.
o Belvedere Heights is a gated development to a commercial construction specification having a piled structural steel frame and concrete floors meaning Number One has high ceilings and impressive sound proofing.
o The high quality internal fit-out is also evident from the Canadian Oak joinery.
o And although Belvedere Height’s single garages necessarily have standard width doors, internally they are about 10' wide.
