Quietly tucked on Grimshaw Lane, this chain-free second-floor apartment offers practical, affordable living in Middleton. The open-plan kitchen/living room is bright and adaptable, and two double bedrooms suit sharers, a young family, or buy-to-let tenants seeking straightforward layout and decent ceilings. A virtual tour helps check flow before viewing.
The building is modern and secure with fob entry and residents’ off-street parking. The property is well presented but some areas show normal wear; the kitchen is compact and may benefit from updating to suit long-term needs. Heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which could mean higher running costs.
Leasehold is long at around 129 years, with annual service charges of approximately £1,300 and a small ground rent of £200. Those costs are important for affordability calculations — they affect monthly outgoings and rental yield if bought as an investment. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent.
Local amenities and schools are close by, and commuter routes to the M60/M62 are convenient. The wider area is classified as relatively deprived, which may influence resale timing and tenant demand; however, good local schools and transport links support steady interest from local buyers and renters.
