This spacious two-bedroom apartment in Castlegate occupies a fifth-floor position with a large private terrace offering direct canal and city views. At about 1,068 sq ft the open-plan living and kitchen area, principal bedroom with en-suite and a second bedroom provide generous city-centre accommodation more typical of a house than a flat. The development sits beside Castle Quay basin, minutes from bars, restaurants and transport links — ideal for commuters and city professionals.
Practical positives include an allocated secure parking space, daytime concierge, double glazing and excellent broadband and mobile coverage. Constructed in the mid-2000s, the build and contemporary kitchen finish present move-in ready appeal for buyers seeking low immediate refurbishment. The apartment’s large terrace is a rare central-Manchester asset for outdoor entertaining and summer evenings by the canal.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with 103 years remaining, an above-average service charge (£4,127pa) and ground rent (£300pa). Heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs. Council tax is above average for the area. These factors are important for budgeting and are typical considerations for central-city apartment ownership.
Overall, this apartment will suit buyers wanting a spacious, modern city home or an investor targeting strong rental demand from students and commuters in Castlefield. It combines standout outdoor space and parking with the convenience of central Manchester living, balanced by predictable leasehold running costs and electric heating.
