Compact one-bedroom ground-floor flat with parking and rental potential in Stoke-on-Trent.
Off-street parking space included
A compact ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Manchester Court offering straightforward rental or first-home potential. The flat includes off-street parking, double glazing and a fitted open-plan kitchen, making it ready for immediate occupation or let. The long lease (231 years) and EPC band C are positive tenure and energy markers.
This unit suits investors seeking a low-entry purchase with advertised rental potential of around £650 pcm, or a single occupant/couple wanting manageable accommodation with low council tax costs. The electric heating and burglar alarm provide basic security and warmth, but electric heaters can raise running costs compared with gas central heating.
Notable negatives include the building’s location in a very deprived area with high local crime levels; buyers should consider security and insurance implications. The flat is compact (c.43 sqm / 462 sq ft) so storage and living space are limited. Ground rent of £120 per year and the leasehold tenure should be reviewed before purchase.
Overall, this is a pragmatic, affordable option for someone prioritising low purchase price and rental income potential over size or a premium neighbourhood. It will suit buyers prepared to accept modest space and local area challenges in exchange for low entry cost and long leasehold security.
