This seventh-floor two-bedroom apartment in the W3 development places you in the heart of Manchester city centre with a private balcony and good skyline views. The large open-plan living room and fitted kitchen create a spacious, flexible layout; one bedroom has an ensuite and there is a separate main bathroom. The building offers concierge service, lift access and a communal garden — useful practical benefits for city living or lettable investment.
Practical points are clear: the flat is leasehold with about 101 years remaining, an EWS1 (B1) form available, and an EPC rating of C. Service charge and ground rent are notable ongoing costs (approx. £3,793 service charge; £150 ground rent annually), and council tax is above average. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can affect running costs.
Chain-free and presented in a modern, neutral finish, the apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a central home or investors targeting city-centre renters, including students and young professionals. The property footprint is typical for a city apartment (around 820 sq ft) and would respond well to modest cosmetic updates to add value.
Be aware the wider area is a busy, multicultural student neighbourhood with excellent transport, shops and leisure nearby — great for convenience and rental demand, but less suited to buyers seeking a quiet suburban setting. No allocated parking is apparent. Overall this is a practical, well-located city apartment with clear running costs to weigh against strong central location and communal facilities.
