Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Handford House, offered with no onward chain and a long lease of 952 years. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a secure intercom entrance. The layout is traditional: entrance hall, double bedroom, large living room, fitted kitchen, utility cupboard and tiled three-piece bathroom.
Outside the apartment has access to landscaped communal gardens and off-street residents’ parking, useful for daily convenience and for commuters. The property sits within walking distance of Urmston town centre and train station, plus local shops, eateries and several well-rated primary and secondary schools—appealing to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors who value location and transport links.
The flat is compact at approximately 369 sq ft, so it suits buyers seeking a manageable, low-maintenance home or a rental investment rather than a larger family residence. There is an average service charge and a small ground rent; these ongoing costs should be factored into budgeting. The building appears in generally sound condition but, as with similar period blocks, cosmetic updating may be desirable to maximise value.
