Set on the fifth floor of a contemporary development in Castlefield, this two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, modern home with strong rental potential. The open-plan living and kitchen area opens onto a full-width balcony with wide city and canal-side views, creating an airy feel across the 623 sq ft footprint. Both bedrooms are doubles and one has an ensuite, making the layout flexible for sharers or a small family.
Practical perks include a secure allocated off-street parking space and a long lease (106 years remaining). The building is recent (c.2007–2011) with double glazing and an EWS1 A1 rating. Broadband and mobile signal are both good, and the immediate neighbourhood is lively and cosmopolitan, popular with students and young professionals — a location that supports an estimated rental yield of around 7.6%.
Important costs and running notes: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of £2,956.31 and ground rent of £259.31. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can mean higher energy bills. The apartment is average-sized for the area and will suit buyers seeking low-maintenance modern living rather than large family accommodation.
Overall this is a practical, modern apartment in a sought-after central location. It will particularly suit investors or buyers seeking a well-connected city base with outdoor private space and secure parking, while those prioritising low-energy heating systems or very large rooms may prefer to look elsewhere.
