Located in inner-city student neighbourhood; area has high deprivation
Set on the 12th floor of a contemporary Stillwater Drive block, this one-bedroom apartment delivers elevated city views and easy access to Sportcity amenities. The open-plan living area with a Juliet-style balcony floods the space with light and frames distant vistas including the Etihad campus.
Practical features include a modern integrated kitchen, secure off-street parking and a long lease (circa 229 years). The property is chain-free, has an EWS1 A1 form, and an EPC C rating — sensible positives for buyers seeking a straightforward purchase close to Metrolink links.
Be clear on running costs and the local context: heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas, and the average service charge is £1,440 per year. The building sits in an inner-city, multicultural student neighbourhood and a very deprived wider area — great for rental demand, but less residential tranquillity.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor aiming for a low-maintenance city base or rental let near major transport and sporting venues. The compact layout and modest square footage make it an efficient urban home, while secure parking and long lease add practical value.
