Compact, low-maintenance city home ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Purpose-built modern apartment, second-floor position
This purpose-built two-bedroom apartment occupies the second floor of a modern block constructed in the mid-2000s. The open living and dining area adjoins a fitted multi-appliance kitchen; the master bedroom has an en-suite and there is a separate family bathroom. At 558 sq ft the accommodation is compact and well suited to a first-time buyer or city investor seeking manageable space.
Practical positives include a very long lease (999 years from 2006, c.980 years remaining), double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Commuters benefit from close M60 access and nearby Moston station; local shops and supermarkets are within about a mile. Several nearby primary schools have Good Ofsted ratings.
Buyers should note the annual service charge of about £1,900 and a ground rent of £125 per year; factor these into running costs. The wider area is classified as very deprived and the neighbourhood profile is described as hampered, which may affect resale and rental demand. One nearby secondary school is rated Inadequate, so family buyers should check local catchment details.
Overall this apartment offers low-maintenance modern living, strong digital connectivity and long lease security. It will appeal most to first-time purchasers wanting a compact city base or investors seeking straightforward accommodation close to transport, provided they accept the service charge and local area considerations.
