This top-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in the award-winning Middlewood Locks canalside neighbourhood, ready to move into as part of the Railings phase. The apartment is finished to a high specification with an integrated Pronorm kitchen, Bosch appliances, quartz worktops and luxury finishes in the bathroom and living areas. A balcony with full-height glazing brings natural light, while vinyl and porcelain flooring and fitted bedroom wardrobes keep maintenance low.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a 999-year lease, peppercorn ground rent and a 10-year building warranty provide long-term security. Residents’ amenities include an atrium, parcel lockers, on-site Co-op and 92 Degree coffee shop. Secure off-street parking is available for an additional cost.
Be realistic about the local context: the postcode area is flagged as very deprived despite being in a low-crime, major conurbation setting. The development sits in a dense urban environment, so buyers seeking quiet suburban streets or large private gardens should look elsewhere. Internal images provided are marketing/show apartment images and may not represent this exact apartment’s fitted decoration.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a modern, low-maintenance city base with long lease security and good communal amenities. Those prioritising large living space or a rural setting should note the compact 488 sq ft footprint and urban location.
