High-floor one-bed with balcony, concierge and strong rental potential in Castlefield.
Full-length balcony with uninterrupted city skyline views
Set on the 3rd floor of the St George’s Island development in Castlefield, this one-bedroom apartment offers a modern, low-maintenance city base with a full-length balcony and sweeping skyline views. The open-plan lounge and kitchen provide a sensible living space for a single occupant or a professional couple, while the generous double bedroom and contemporary bathroom complete the accommodation.
Presented as a straightforward investment opportunity, the property is chain-free and comes with an EWS1 form confirming completed fire/cladding work, so it is mortgage-compliant. A 24-hour concierge, excellent broadband and strong mobile signal add practical appeal for renters. The immediate area is a cosmopolitan, multicultural neighbourhood with notable student presence, supporting lettability year-round.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with approximately 106 years remaining, an annual service charge of around £2,138 and ground rent of £275 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs. The apartment measures about 464 sq ft — average in size — and is best suited to investors or someone seeking a compact urban home.
Taken together, the flat represents a ready-to-let asset in a popular Castlefield development with clear rental upside, balanced by recurring service charges and electric heating running costs. The property is offered vacant and ready to market to tenants or occupy immediately.
