This one-bedroom apartment on Great Clowes Street offers a straightforward entry into Salford living close to Manchester city centre. Set on the second floor of a lift-assisted development, the flat provides a practical layout with a living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom — plus allocated off-street parking and a long lease of 980 years.
The home is well-presented with UPVC double glazing, gas central heating and an alarm. Its size (approx. 527 sq ft) suits a single occupant or couple seeking a low-maintenance city base, and the short walk to Albert Park and local amenities gives everyday convenience. Council Tax sits in Band A, keeping running costs modest.
Notable practical points: the development charges a service fee of about £270 pcm and a small ground rent of £130 pa; broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow. The local neighbourhood is described as an urban cultural mix with pockets of deprivation, which may affect resale or rental prospects in some segments. The living room décor shows dated 1970s styling in places and could benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise appeal.
Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a centrally located, long-lease property that needs little structural work but may require cosmetic refresh and patience for broadband improvement in the area.
