Set on the fifth floor of the award-winning Islington Wharf, this bright one-bedroom apartment offers waterside views over the Ashton Canal and generous natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. The open-plan living space, modern kitchen and wood-effect floors present a move-in ready feel suited to buyers seeking a compact city-centre home or rental investment.
Practical points are clear: the building holds a current EWS1 with B1 rating, the lease is long (around 225 years remaining), and there is no onward chain, allowing a straightforward purchase. It sits directly opposite New Islington Metrolink and is a short walk from Cutting Room Square and Ancoats Marina, making public transport and local leisure spots very accessible.
Buyers should note the running costs and local context. Annual service charge and ground rent are approximately £1,700 and £200 respectively, and heating is provided via a community mains-gas scheme. Internally the apartment is average-sized (about 470 sq ft) and there is no private outdoor space; the communal garden is shared. The wider neighbourhood is lively and student-rich, which brings strong rental demand but can also mean busier streets and evening activity.
Overall this is a practical, waterside one-bedroom that will appeal to first-time purchasers seeking a well-located city base or investors after a centrally positioned rental unit with good transport links.
