A bright top-floor apartment in Castleton village, this two-double-bedroom home offers ready-made modern living with generous open-plan space. The apartment sits in a well-kept block built in the early 2000s and benefits from allocated off-street parking and a long lease of 229–230 years.
Practical running costs include electric room heaters (no gas connected) and double glazing; the building has an EPC rating of C. Note the annual service charge (£2,367) is relatively high for the size, and ground rent is a small £80 per year. Broadband speeds are average in the area.
This property suits first-time buyers looking for an affordable entry into the Rochdale market or investors seeking a straightforward let close to rail and motorway links. Castleton village amenities, good local schools, very low crime and excellent mobile signal add to daily convenience, though the wider area shows pockets of deprivation.
Overall, the apartment offers a low-maintenance, modern living space with long-term security from a lengthy lease — buyers should budget for the service charges and electric heating costs when assessing affordability.
