- Suspended ceilings with LED lighting and carpet flooring

A rare self-contained office unit in Waters Edge Business Park, offered with three dedicated surface car spaces and immediate access to central Manchester. The property extends to approximately 1,276 sq ft over ground and first floors and mixes open-plan and partitioned accommodation—suitable for an owner-occupier office or an income-producing investment.
Internally the specification is practical: suspended ceilings with LED lighting, carpeted floors, a fitted kitchen, W/C and roller shutters. The building holds an EPC rating of C and benefits from a very long leasehold term (947 years from June 1989), reducing medium-term tenure risk for purchasers.
Notable negatives are present and should inform bidding: broadband speeds are very slow, the area records very high deprivation despite very low local crime, and there is a medium flood risk. The location is strong for transport links—around 1 mile to Manchester city centre, Exchange Quay Metrolink and the M602/M60—supporting tenant demand, though some refurbishment or connectivity upgrades may be required to maximise rental value.
This lot will suit investors seeking a city-edge asset with parking and long lease security, or an operator wanting ready-to-use space with straightforward improvement potential. Budget for modest capital works if modern connectivity and cosmetic refresh are priorities.
