Set high above Salford Quays on the 21st floor, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment delivers genuine skyline living and striking panoramic views. The open-plan living and kitchen area is bright and contemporary with integrated appliances and practical finishes, while the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite. At 566 sq ft this home is compact but carefully laid out for modern city life.
Practical details suit long-term ownership or buy-to-let: a 239-year lease, an EWS1 grading of B1, EPC B and an affordable council tax band C. The location is exceptional for transport, waterfront dining and local amenities, with multiple schools and leisure options within easy reach. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow locally — a realistic limitation for heavy remote working or streaming without upgrading connections.
Buyers should note there is no allocated parking and heating is via electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs. Annual service charge (£3,385) and ground rent (£327) apply; these are typical for riverside developments but important for budgeting. The apartment’s relatively small overall size and mid-terrace, system-built construction make it best suited to buyers prioritising location and views over large living spaces.
This property will appeal to investors seeking a high-demand, well-located rental in a cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood, and to first-time buyers wanting a manageable city base with long lease security. Viewings are recommended to fully appreciate the outlook and layout on offer.
