Characterful one-bedroom in a lively central location, ideal for first-time buyers.
Duplex layout with galleried double bedroom and high ceilings
A bright duplex apartment in Market Buildings, set on the 2nd floor of a well-known Northern Quarter conversion. The layout uses its 546 sqft efficiently: an open-plan living/kitchen on the lower level and a galleried double bedroom above, all enhanced by high ceilings and original features such as exposed beams and sash windows.
Practical positives include a long lease (around 226 years remaining from a 250-year term), an EWS1 B1 rating, vacant possession and good transport links — Victoria train station and Metrolink are under a five-minute walk. The property has secondary glazing and fast broadband, making it suitable for home working and city living.
Notable running costs and obligations: the annual combined service charge is approximately £1,915.14 and ground rent is £150 per year. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. The building was converted in the late 1990s/early 2000s and, while the apartment retains period character, buyers should verify the condition and service records of electrics, heating and communal elements.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a characterful city base with immediate rental potential (estimated rent around £1,100 pcm). It is vacant and ready to view, but purchasers should carry out their own checks on services, fixtures and the management arrangements.
