Set on the 8th floor of a modern riverside development, this two-bedroom apartment offers bright, open-plan living with a full-width balcony and secure off-street parking. The fitted kitchen has integrated appliances and the master bedroom includes an en-suite — practical layout for a first home or buy-to-let. Large windows deliver plenty of natural light and canal-facing views across Castlefield.
The building was constructed post-2007 and benefits from double glazing; the property has an EPC rating of C. Heating is by electric room heaters (no communal gas or central heating), which keeps installation simple but may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated flats. Service charge is substantial at £3,402.14 per year, and there are 86 years remaining on the current lease — both important long-term costs to factor in.
The development sits in a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood close to central Manchester transport links, shops and leisure amenities. That location supports good rental demand but also means periods of student activity and associated noise at peak times. Overall this is a low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it suitable for working professionals, first-time buyers and investors aware of the lease and running costs.
Buyers should note the remaining lease length and the high annual service charge when assessing mortgage or investment returns. The layout, balcony, parking and central Castlefield location represent clear positives for viewings and potential rental appeal.
