Chain-free two-bedroom flat close to the village and Metrolink — ideal first purchase.
Two double bedrooms, well-proportioned ground-floor layout
A well-proportioned ground-floor flat in a low-rise block, this two double-bedroom apartment sits within easy walking distance of West Didsbury village and the Metrolink. The layout delivers a spacious lounge/dining room, separate kitchen, built-in wardrobes in the master and useful walk-in storage off the entrance lobby — practical space for a first home or buy-to-let. Allocated off-street parking and access to a communal lawn add convenience that’s rare for flats at this price.
The apartment benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a long lease (995 years), so major title concerns are avoided. The block is mid‑20th century brick construction and externally appears in reasonable condition; internal accommodation (approx. 688 sq ft) is average-sized but well laid out for two occupants or sharers.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with an annual service charge (around £1,710) and communal maintenance responsibilities. The cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so there is scope — and cost — to improve energy efficiency in future renovations. The communal garden is modest and there is no private outdoor balcony, which may matter to some buyers.
Overall, this chain-free flat offers sound fundamentals for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, low-maintenance home with clear potential to add value through targeted energy and cosmetic improvements.
