Built in the early 1990s, the block presents a modern brick façade and double-glazed windows (installation date unknown). The property benefits from mains gas central heating, an allocated off-street parking space and a long lease of 178 years — all features that reduce immediate running and ownership concerns.

The immediate area scores well for low crime and has several nearby primary schools rated Good, though one local secondary is noted as Requires Improvement. Council tax is low, helping running costs.
Overall this apartment is a practical, low-cost home or rental opportunity with long lease security and easy commuter links to Rochdale and Manchester. It’s best suited to first-time buyers or investors prepared to accept slower broadband and the broader area’s socio-economic context.
