Compact, characterful one-bedroom with parking and long lease near transport links.
Raised ground-floor Victorian flat with high ceilings and large windows
This raised ground-floor Victorian flat combines high ceilings and large windows with a compact, modern layout — ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-entry Manchester property. The open-plan kitchen-living area feels airy for the square footage and leads onto communal garden views, while a contemporary bathroom and practical bedroom make the flat ready to occupy.
Practical positives include off-street parking, excellent mobile signal, a very long lease (241 years remaining) and low council tax. The building’s period features give character; the open-plan living creates a sociable space in a small footprint.
Notable practical drawbacks are the overall small size (328 sq ft) and the building’s assumed cavity walls with no insulation — heating may be less efficient and could benefit from upgrading. Broadband speeds are only average and the surrounding area is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term resale premiums. The flat is leasehold and, while the lease length is strong, buyers should verify service charges and any communal maintenance costs before committing.
This property suits someone who values location and character over space: a commuter or young buyer who wants a move-in-ready flat with scope for efficiency improvements, or an investor seeking a straightforward rental asset close to transport links and local amenities.
