Bright, modern and well-serviced, this two-bedroom apartment at Wilburn Basin offers straightforward city living on the banks of the River Irwell. The open-plan living/kitchen with Juliet balcony brings natural light into a practical 695 sq ft layout, while a designated off-street parking space, 24-hour concierge and residents’ gym add daily convenience.
Suited to both investors and homebuyers, the development’s onsite amenities include a cinema room, parcel locker and secure fob entry. The long lease (240 years) and included parking support resale and lettability; a quoted rental return of around 6.3% indicates strong investor appeal in this central location close to shops, cafés and transport links.
Buyers should note the annual running costs: a service charge of £1,973.22 and ground rent of £300. The property is leasehold and sits in a deprived ward with a cosmopolitan, student-heavy local profile—expect higher footfall and daytime/night-time activity compared with suburban neighbourhoods. There is no private garden, only a balcony.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance city apartment with communal lifestyle facilities and good transport access. It will suit first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in home near amenities, or investors targeting reliable rental demand, provided they factor in service charges and the mixed local neighbourhood character.
