Central Castlefield 2-bed, chain-free, needs updating—ideal first buy or investor project.
Two double bedrooms and one bathroom, 657 sqft internal space
Set in the City Gate development of Castlefield, this two-bedroom apartment offers a central yet calm city-centre base just a short walk from Deansgate and Spinningfields. At 657 sqft the layout provides a generous open-plan living/kitchen, two double bedrooms and one bathroom — a practical size for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The property is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, priced to reflect its need for updating. The kitchen and living area are functional but dated; ventilation issues and worn finishes mean straightforward modernisation will add clear value. Heating is by electric room heaters and the flat has double glazing.
Practical costs to note: this is a leasehold apartment with an annual service charge around £2,488 and ground rent £125. Lease length is TBC, so buyers should confirm the remaining term and check services and appliances themselves. Council tax is described as affordable and the area records very low crime and excellent mobile and fast broadband speeds.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer looking for an affordable city-centre entry, or an investor seeking a centrally located rental after refurbishment. Renovation will be needed to maximise comfort and market rent; buyers should account for renovation costs and confirm lease details before commitment.
