Summary - 51 APARTMENT 208 WHITWORTH STREET WEST MANCHESTER M1 5EA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, modern flat next to Oxford Road station — strong rental potential for investors.
Second-floor modern one-bedroom apartment, open-plan layout
This second-floor one-bedroom apartment in The W3 Building offers a compact, modern city-centre home well suited to buy-to-let or a first purchase. The open-plan living room and integrated kitchen create efficient living space, while a double bedroom and modern bathroom complete the layout. The property benefits from allocated off-street parking and a 24-hour concierge, adding convenience and security.
Location is the principal attraction: directly opposite Oxford Road station and a short walk from Manchester’s universities, the flat sits in a busy, student-focused neighbourhood with strong rental demand. The building is contemporary (constructed c.1996–2002), has double glazing and an EPC B rating, supporting energy-efficient running compared with older stock.
Buyers should note a few practical points. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives and may affect running costs. The flat is leasehold with around 100 years remaining and a modest ground rent of £150. The apartment is average-sized at 538 sq ft with limited room count, so it suits single occupants, couples or students rather than families needing more space.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance city-centre flat with clear rental appeal and commuter convenience. Its modern specification and concierge service make it attractive to tenants, while the lease length and modest service charges keep ownership manageable. Consider potential heating costs and the student-dominated local market when assessing long-term use or resale timing.
