A compact first-floor one-bedroom apartment backing onto the Bridgewater Canal, ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an affordable entry in a popular pocket near Monton Village. The open-plan living area has patio doors and a practical fitted kitchen, while the double bedroom and bathroom complete a straightforward, low-maintenance home of around 480 sq ft.
The development offers resident off-street parking and communal grounds, with long leasehold security (778 years remaining). Double glazing was installed post-2002 and the block dates from the early 2000s, reducing immediate major-maintenance concerns. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working or streaming; nearby transport links and the canal towpath add lifestyle appeal.
Be clear on running costs: heating is electric via room heaters and will typically cost more than gas-heated homes. Service charge and ground rent are notable ongoing costs (approx. £1,504 pa service charge; £155 pa ground rent). The area scores high on local deprivation indices, so buyers should expect a mixed neighbourhood while enjoying very low local crime and cheap council tax.
This flat works well as a reasonably priced first home or a straightforward rental unit: good schools are within reach, and Monton’s shops, cafés and bars are a short walk away. The property is presented for occupants happy with a modest, economical finish and potential for light cosmetic updating.
