This top-floor two-bedroom flat sits in a red-brick, townhouse-style block close to Stockport’s shops, transport interchange and local cafes. Offered as 75% shared ownership with an allocated off-street parking space and lift access, it suits a first-time buyer wanting town-centre convenience without the full purchase price.
Internally the layout provides an open-plan living/kitchen, two modest bedrooms and a family bathroom. The building’s period character shows in the exterior while the apartment presents practical modern finishes. There is no private garden; outlook is to the forecourt and neighbouring trees.
Buyers should note important practical points: the lease has around 78 years remaining which may limit mortgage options, and the home uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow. Service charges are payable (circa £1,872 per year).
With no onward chain the property is straightforward to purchase if you qualify for shared ownership. For a buyer prioritising central location, managed communal maintenance and a modest purchase price, this apartment is worth viewing — especially those seeking a compact, low-maintenance city base.
