On the edge of Castlefield, on the banks of the Middlewood Basin, Shales Residence is a three storey canal side townhouse offering a peaceful retreat at the city’s fringe. Spanning approximately 1,800 square feet, it features two king size bedrooms, one double bedroom and two and a half bathrooms, along with a sequence of terraces that open toward the water. Designed with balance and proportion in mind, it offers space to unwind, to gather, and to simply slow down.

By the canal the light has its own rhythm. Shales Residence draws it in through generous glazing, reflecting it across crisp white walls and soft timber tones. Gentle curves meet structured lines, creating harmony between calm and craft. Every space feels composed yet human, layered with subtle warmth and material honesty. It is a home shaped by texture and time, a quiet escape where the pace of the water becomes the rhythm of daily life.
