Summary - THE FOUNDRY, 2A APARTMENT 4 LOWER CHATHAM STREET MANCHESTER M1 5TF
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Chain-free investment near Manchester University with parking and balcony.
Generous 797 sq ft two-bedroom ground-floor apartment
A spacious two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in The Foundry, offered chain free and presented as an investment purchase. The L-shaped reception flows into a generous open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen with two sets of patio doors and a large wrap-round balcony overlooking a secure communal courtyard. The layout includes a principal bedroom, a second bedroom with ensuite, and a separate bathroom — all within approximately 797 sq ft, built in 2002.
Positioned moments from Oxford Road station and Manchester University, this property suits buy-to-let investors or parents buying for students. It includes one secure off-street parking space and benefits from double glazing and an electric heating system. The long lease (circa 976 years remaining) and modest ground rent (£150) are positive tenure features for long-term ownership.
Buyers should note planned fire safety remedial works and that a satisfactory EWS1 form is not currently in place. The original developer, Taylor Wimpey, has provided a letter of comfort confirming they will fund the required works; however, mortgage applicants must confirm acceptability with their lender or broker. Service charge details and full lease documentation should be checked as part of purchase due diligence.
Overall this is a practical, centrally located investment with strong student and commuter rental appeal. The apartment’s modern fit-out, secure parking and balcony add tenant appeal, while the outstanding fire-safety paperwork is a material issue to resolve before some lenders will proceed.
