A ground-floor two-bedroom home offered chain-free in a quiet modern development, ideal for a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking low-maintenance living with parking. The layout is straightforward: entrance hall with storage, a bright lounge, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. At about 601 sq ft the apartment is compact but practical and sits within tended communal grounds.
The property requires some renovation and updating — the listing shows electric room heaters rather than a gas central heating system, and the exact age of double glazing is unknown. These factors make the flat well suited to someone prepared to modernise to reduce running costs and personalise the space. The lease is long (979 years) which removes a common leasehold concern.
Practical running costs include an average annual service charge of around £1,300 and a ground rent of £150. Off-street allocated parking plus visitor spaces are useful for owners and guests, and excellent mobile signal with average broadband speeds support home working. The location is convenient for local shops, green canalside walks and rail connections for commuting into Manchester.
This is a sensible purchase for a buyer looking for an affordable entry on to the property ladder or a low-effort rental investment, provided they factor in refurbishment and electric heating costs. Viewing is recommended to judge scale and scope for improvement in person.
