Modern two-bed apartment with large terrace and allocated parking in Castlefield.
Two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, primary with en suite
A bright two-bedroom, two-bath apartment on the first floor of Potato Wharf, set in the sought-after Castlefield canalside. The open-plan living/kitchen flows onto a generous terrace — a rare outdoor space for city apartments — and an allocated off-street parking space completes the practical layout. Built in 2017, the property benefits from modern finishes and an EPC B rating.
Practical ownership features include a long lease of approximately 995 years, a below-average annual service charge of £722.30 and a modest ground rent of £240. Heating is provided through a community scheme, which is efficient but means residents share maintenance and running arrangements.
Location is a clear strength: Castlefield’s canals, leisure venues and close transport links (Deansgate tram/train ~0.8 miles) make this appealing to commuters, students and professionals. Flood risk is nil and local crime levels are very low, supporting a comfortable urban lifestyle.
Notable cautions: this is a leasehold apartment — check the ground rent review clause (rent doubles every 25 years) and communal management terms. The building has external cladding that was tested and reported as not requiring remedial works, but buyers should carry out their own enquiries and checks about the external wall system and any interim measures. Community heating arrangements and the lease terms are worth reviewing for long-term running costs.
