Set on the first floor of a quiet, well-maintained 1970s development, this one-bedroom flat is ready to move into and benefits from strong natural light thanks to a south-facing aspect. The open-plan living space and double bedroom make efficient use of the 511 sq ft, and a large external storage cupboard plus locked bike storage add practical space for everyday living.
Commuting is straightforward: short walks to Manchester University, hospitals and the city centre, with excellent mobile signal and local transport links. Off-street parking is included and there is an option to rent a private garage, useful for drivers or extra storage. The long lease (807 years) removes typical leasehold timing concerns.
Be aware of several material points: heating is by electric storage heaters (no communal gas), broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, and the average annual service charge is around £1,800. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-focused area with signs of wider area deprivation — that can mean good rental demand but also a less residential feel at times.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance city-base with reliable rental appeal and easy access to universities and the city centre. If you value natural light, separate storage and simple, move-in-ready accommodation, this property offers clear practical advantages; budget for running costs and consider heating and broadband needs if you plan to live here full-time.
