Summary - VELVET HOUSE, 60 APARTMENT 8 SACKVILLE STREET MANCHESTER M1 3WE
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment in Velvet House with parking and leisure facilities.
City-centre M1 location; walking distance to Oxford Road and Piccadilly
A compact one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Manchester City Centre, Velvet House puts transport, universities and the city’s cultural quarter on your doorstep. The 542 sq ft layout makes efficient use of space with an open-plan living/kitchen, double bedroom and three-piece bathroom — a practical first home or buy-to-let in a high-demand location.
The building’s Edwardian character is evident inside and out: high ceilings, large windows and a feature fireplace give the apartment a sense of space and period charm. Residents benefit from extensive communal leisure facilities including a swimming pool, gym, sauna, hot tub and games room, plus a landscaped communal garden and secure video entry — amenities that add real rental and lifestyle appeal.
Important practical points are clear: the property is leasehold (about 965 years remaining) and sold chain-free. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central gas, and the glazing is secondary; walls are solid brick with no built-in insulation, so further retrofit work may be needed to improve energy efficiency and running costs. The apartment’s central location sits within a multicultural, student-heavy neighbourhood — excellent for rental demand but busier and noisier than residential suburbs.
Overall, this is a straightforward, well-located starter home or investment with strong amenity-led appeal. Buyers should budget for possible upgrades to heating, insulation and kitchen/bathroom refreshes if aiming to maximise long-term comfort or rental income.
