Chain-free 2-bed investment in popular canal-side location with long lease.
Fourth-floor two-bedroom apartment with small balcony off bedroom one
A compact two-bedroom apartment in the City Gate 3 development, set on the fourth floor with a small balcony accessed from bedroom one. The 564 sq ft layout includes an open-plan living/kitchen, one bathroom with white suite, and double glazing throughout. EPC rating C and fast broadband make the property practical for short-term lets or city-centre rental demand.
This is a clear investment-style opportunity in the popular Castlefield area, close to bars, restaurants, transport links and canal-side amenities. The property is offered chain-free and has a long lease (125 years remaining), which simplifies purchase and should reassure buy-to-let buyers.
Buyers should note the apartment is modest in size and uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can affect running costs. The tenure is leasehold with a ground rent of £125 and service/maintenance obligations typical of managed developments. No private garden or parking is included.
Overall this apartment suits investors or those seeking a low-maintenance city-base with good rental potential in a student and young-professional neighbourhood. It offers sensible modern fittings and an external balcony, but expect higher utilities and communal charges compared with a self-contained house.
