This chain-free, two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers a straightforward entry into homeownership. The open-plan living room and modern kitchen-diner create a bright, usable living space with patio doors and water views, while two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom provide comfortable everyday accommodation. At around 633 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or investors seeking easy-maintenance living close to transport and local amenities.
Practical running costs and ownership facts are clear: the property is leasehold with approximately 230 years remaining, an annual service charge around £2,640 and a small ground rent of £100. Heating is electric via room heaters, and the home benefits from double glazing and modern fittings — but buyers should note there is no gas central heating.
Location is a strong selling point. The apartment sits within a modern, well-kept development with communal gardens and off-street parking, and Irlam train station is very close. Local schools include several rated Good, and shops, supermarkets and the Trafford Centre are easily reachable.
Important considerations: the area is recorded as high flood risk, which may affect insurance costs and future precautions. The electric heating setup and the service charge should also be factored into running costs. An internal viewing will confirm whether the fit-out and layout meet your needs.
