Set in Castlefield's City Gate development, this two-double-bedroom apartment offers a central, peaceful base just a short walk from Deansgate and Spinningfields. With 657 sq ft of space and vacant possession, it presents a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor.
The accommodation requires updating throughout: the open-plan living/kitchen and bedrooms show dated finishes and electric room heaters. Practical positives include double glazing, a 125-year lease remaining, fast broadband, very low local crime and excellent mobile signal—useful for city working and renting.
Buyers should factor in annual costs: a service charge of £2,488.24 and ground rent of £125. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the property will need modernization to reach contemporary standards. Priced to sell at £133,000, the apartment offers clear renovation potential and immediate rental or owner-occupier opportunities given its Castlefield location.
Overall, this is an affordable, chain-free city-centre entry point with scope to add value through refurbishment. Viewings suit those comfortable planning upgrades and accounting for service charges and running costs.
