Compact 1-bed with big windows by New Islington tram and Piccadilly links.
345 sq ft one-bedroom flat, compact and efficient layout
Compact, contemporary and well‑placed, this one‑bed flat in New Islington suits first‑time buyers or investors seeking city-centre rental potential. Positioned on a high floor with generous windows, the open-plan living area benefits from strong natural light and waterside views along the Ashton Canal. The building is a modern 2007–2011 development with double glazing and an EPC rating of C.
At about 345 sq ft the accommodation is small and efficient: an open-plan living/kitchen, one bedroom and a three-piece bathroom. Heating runs on electric boiler and radiators; the property is leasehold, so purchasers should check lease length, ground rent and service charge commitments before committing. Council tax is described as low, which helps running costs.
Location is a major asset — 0.1 miles from New Islington tram stop and about 0.5 miles from Manchester Piccadilly, with cafes, shops, canal walks and bike hire nearby. The surrounding neighbourhood is cosmopolitan and largely student-oriented, so expect a lively atmosphere and good rental demand, but also higher footfall and variable daytime noise.
This flat works well as an entry-level buy-to-let or a starter home for someone prioritising location and low-maintenance modern living. The compact size limits flexibility for families or anyone needing extensive storage; buyers wanting more space should consider larger nearby options.
