This 1-bedroom flat in a historic Halifax building with iconic window is on the market

A one-bedroom flat in Halifax is up for sale – complete with one of the town’s most recognisable windows.

The one-bedroom flat is available in the 150-year-old, Grade II-listed Drill Hall, at the corner of Prescott Street and Union Street.

And the flat’s open-plan lounge/kitchen features the building’s recognisable front window overlooking Prescott Street.

Estate agent Reeds Rains says: “The property blends modern fixtures and fittings with ample character which includes high sloped ceilings and a large feature window in the lounge.”

The Prescott Street Drill Hall was built in the 1860s as the headquarters of the 4th West Yorkshire Rifle Volunteer Corps. It was home to various regiments and Army units over the years.

It was decommissioned and converted for residential use after its final unit, B (The Duke of Wellington's Regiment) Company, 3rd Battalion, The Duke of Wellington's Regiment (West Riding) (Yorkshire Volunteers), was disbanded in 1999.
