Set within the converted Grade II listed Chorlton Mill, this one-bedroom apartment combines industrial character with central convenience. Exposed brickwork, vaulted ceilings and original beams create a striking living space that feels larger than its 495 sqft footprint. The open-plan living area and refitted shower room are ready to use, and the apartment benefits from a quiet aspect overlooking communal gardens.
Located in the heart of the city near universities, First Street and Oxford Road station, the flat suits a first-time buyer seeking a distinctive starter home or an investor targeting student-style rental demand. Chain-free sale and a long lease (c. 973 years remaining) simplify purchase logistics and provide security of tenure.
Buyers should note practical costs and constraints: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £3,099 and a small ground rent of £150. Listed status means alterations will be restricted and may require specialist approvals. Heating runs on electric-fed boiler and radiators and the EPC is rated C — adequate but worth considering for future energy improvements.
Overall this apartment offers immediate move-in appeal and strong location-led potential, balanced by predictable running costs and planning limitations associated with a historic building. Viewings are recommended for those prioritising character, proximity to city amenities and a low-maintenance urban base.
