Summary - 51 APARTMENT 818 WHITWORTH STREET WEST MANCHESTER M1 5ED
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Eighth-floor two-bed with canal views, concierge and garage — ideal city living or rental investment.
Riverside views from large open-plan living windows
This eighth-floor two-bedroom apartment on Whitworth Street West delivers low-maintenance city living with genuine riverside views. The open-plan kitchen/lounge is bright and airy, with integrated appliances and glazing that frames the canal — a comfortable base for professionals, first-time buyers or investors seeking a city-centre let. The building benefits from a 24-hour concierge, communal terrace/BBQ area and an allocated garage space.
The accommodation includes two large double bedrooms (master with en-suite) and a modern main bathroom. Practical features include double glazing, an EPC rating of C and an EWS‑1 certificate. The leasehold tenure has around a century remaining (c.101 years reported), making it suitable for mortgage buyers; ground rent is modest at £150 pa.
Buyers should note material running costs: a service charge of about £3,624.72 per year and council tax at Band E (above average). Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can increase energy bills compared with communal gas systems. The property sits in a multicultural, student‑focused neighbourhood in a deprived area classification, so expect city‑centre activity and occasional noise.
Overall this is a well-equipped, modern city apartment with strong rental and lifestyle appeal for those prioritising location and low upkeep. It suits buyers wanting convenient access to transport, amenities and Manchester’s cultural offer, provided they factor in service charges and electric heating costs.
