This one-bedroom apartment in Wharf End offers modern waterside living with immediate transport convenience — the Wharfside tram stop is literally outside the building. Completed in 2022, the flat benefits from contemporary finishes, EV charging, secure cycle storage and a range of shared amenities including 24-hour security, concierge, cinema room and communal working spaces.
At about 452 sq ft the apartment is an average-sized one-bedroom suited to a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking a low-fuss city base. The long lease (around 245 years remaining) and recent construction reduce immediate maintenance risks; communal landscaping and rooftop terraces add social and outdoor space without private garden upkeep.
There are practical costs and specification points to note. Heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher running costs depending on your tariff. The service charge is relatively high (approximately £1,750 pa) and there is a small ground rent (£160 pa). The property is leasehold, so buyers should factor ongoing service charges and ground rent into affordability calculations.
Overall this is a modern, well-connected apartment that suits buyers prioritising transport links, on-site amenities and a move-in-ready home. It will particularly appeal to people who value security, communal facilities and easy access to Manchester city centre and MediaCityUK, but buyers wanting lower running costs or private outdoor space should weigh those priorities against the conveniences offered.
