Summary - flat 2, tower 2, lakeside rise M9 8QD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, chain-free apartment near Metrolink and Heaton Park.
Ground-floor one-bedroom, ideal for first-time buyers or downsizers
This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment is a straightforward, chain-free purchase for a first-time buyer or someone looking to downsize. The open-plan living and kitchen area feels bright thanks to a large window and neutral décor, and the double bedroom and bathroom provide practical single-level living. Communal grounds are maintained and there is resident off-street parking.
Practical running costs include an EPC rating of C and council tax in Band A, but heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is served by electricity, which may raise running costs versus gas. There is a service charge of approximately £1,546 per year and a small annual ground rent of £150. The lease has about 103 years remaining, giving solid long-term security for buyers and investors.
Location is a key strength: Lakeside Rise sits close to Bowker Vale Metrolink, local shops, and green space at Heaton Park, with central Manchester roughly four miles away. Public transport links are strong and the area records very low crime levels, though local socioeconomic indicators show higher deprivation; the neighbourhood is an urban cultural mix with a significant population of migrant families.
Overall this is a compact, well-located apartment with low entry costs and straightforward accommodation. It suits first-time buyers seeking a manageable, single-level home, or investors looking for a lettable property. Buyers should budget for the service charge and consider the impact of electric storage heating on bills.
