Set on the first floor of a well-kept mid-20th-century development, this one-bedroom flat offers bright, practical living in a highly connected area of Middleton. The lounge benefits from plenty of natural light and the double bedroom fits wardrobe storage comfortably. Residents share attractive communal gardens that provide a pleasant outdoor space without maintenance responsibilities.
Practical comforts include a modern kitchen, a family bathroom, an off-street parking space, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working. Public transport links are strong, making commutes and local journeys straightforward. The communal upkeep is covered by a service charge of £1,002.12 per year (around £83.51 monthly).
Important points to note are the leasehold tenure and the building’s mid-20th-century construction: the long lease (944 years remaining) is a clear positive, but there is no lift to upper floors and internal rooms are described as small-to-medium. The property sits in an area classed as very deprived, though local crime rates are very low and several nearby schools are rated Good or Outstanding.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, low-maintenance home or an investor looking for a well-located rental in a large conurbation. It balances immediate move-in ease with realistic expectations about space and communal costs.
