This well‑located two-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of The Boatmans, moments from Deansgate’s theatres, cafes and transport links. The open-plan living room and kitchen open onto a private balcony, providing a bright, flexible living space for everyday life or short‑let use. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite; a good-sized second double and a family bathroom complete the layout across approximately 746 sq ft.
The property has full double glazing and a very long lease (999 years from 2002). Annual outgoings are straightforward: ground rent £140 and service charge around £2,800. Electric heating is installed (room heaters), so running costs are typically higher than gas-heated flats; Council Tax band D applies.
The apartment needs internal renovation and updating — it will suit buyers prepared to invest in cosmetic and systems upgrades to unlock value. Given the central location inside a block of 29 dwellings, it represents a practical choice for first‑time buyers, professionals seeking a city base, or investors targeting city-centre demand and good rental prospects.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold and requires refurbishment; survey checks on services and electrics are recommended before purchase. For those who want central Manchester living with redevelopment potential, this offers a competitively priced opportunity close to major stations, Deansgate Locks and university facilities.
