Affordable one-bedroom with long lease and canal views, ideal for first-time buyers.
No onward chain — ready for a quick purchase
Set alongside the Manchester Ship Canal, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers an affordable entry into the Runcorn market. The open-plan living area and kitchen create a bright, practical space with direct views over the maintained communal gardens and canal. With no onward chain and a long lease, it suits buyers who want a straightforward purchase.
The apartment is compact but well laid out: a double bedroom, bathroom with mains shower, built-in storage in the entrance hall, and a concealed combi boiler. Communal amenities include maintained gardens, shared car parking and secure coded access, with fast broadband and low local crime adding practical appeal.
Costs to factor in are the leasehold terms and running charges: a service charge (around £1,512 pa) and a small ground rent (circa £133 pa). The local area shows signs of deprivation, which may affect long-term capital growth, though nearby primary schools are rated Good and the location is convenient for Runcorn Old Town.
Overall this property is best suited to first-time buyers seeking a low-cost starter home or buy-to-let investors wanting a ready-to-rent waterside apartment. Buyers should commission their own tests on services and appliances and allow for ongoing management charges.
