This well-presented one-bedroom apartment sits on the third floor of a sought-after Northern Quarter development, offering a compact yet comfortable city base. At around 420 sq ft the layout includes an open-plan living area with a breakfast bar, a double bedroom and a bathroom — ready for immediate occupation with vacant possession.
Practical details suit a first-time buyer: long leasehold term in place (125-year original term from 2004, with documentation noting c.104 years remaining), an EWS1 B1 rating for the building, and no annual ground rent. The development is close to Piccadilly and Victoria stations and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — ideal for commuting and city living.
Buyers should note the apartment uses electric storage heaters, which can affect running costs, and there is an annual service charge of £1,748.76. The property is small and better suited to single occupiers or couples rather than those needing extensive storage or multiple bedrooms. The building’s owner-occupier restriction means it’s not available as a buy-to-let investment.
Overall this flat offers a low-maintenance, central city home for someone prioritising location, convenience and move-in readiness. Viewings are recommended to assess space and heating suitability in person.
