Low-running-cost two-bed near North Manchester General, ideal for first-time buyers or landlords..
Second-floor two-bedroom modern apartment
Set on the second floor of a small modern block in Blackley village, this compact two-bedroom apartment offers sensible, low-cost living or straightforward rental potential. The layout includes an open-plan kitchen/diner, lounge with patio doors, two double bedrooms (master en-suite) and a separate bathroom. Gas central heating and double glazing keep running costs sensible; the EPC is B and council tax is Band A.
Practical features include lift access, secure entry, an allocated gated parking space and communal gardens. The building sits close to North Manchester General Hospital and local amenities, with several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby — convenient for first-time buyers working locally or landlords targeting healthcare staff tenants.
Be aware this is a compact flat with limited internal space for a two-bedroom property and small communal grounds with restricted views. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which may affect home working. The property shows some dated finishes (eg, carpeted living area) and would benefit from light modernisation to maximise value or rental income. The tenure is leasehold with a modest annual charge of £250.
