A bright third-floor corner apartment in the heart of the Northern Quarter, Kingsley House blends Victorian character with industrial style. Large windows and exposed brick create an airy, loft-like living room with an open-plan refitted kitchen, ideal for social living or letting to city professionals and students.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold with a very long lease (969 years) and offered chain-free. Service charges average £2,294 pa and council tax is moderate. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the EPC is rated D, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes; broadband speeds are reported as very slow in the immediate area.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located city-centre home with character and strong rental appeal. The building is solid brick, pre-1900 construction, and has double glazing (installation date unknown); buyers should note assumed lack of cavity insulation and the potential for improvement works to enhance efficiency and comfort.
In short: easy access to Northern Quarter, Ancoats and Piccadilly; striking interior character; clear maintenance and running-cost considerations. Viewing recommended for anyone prioritising location and character over turnkey energy efficiency.
