A bright ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a handsome period-style development, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character with modern convenience. The property benefits from a private entrance and a full-width York stone terrace framed by mature planting — a rare outdoor space at ground level in West Didsbury. The open-plan lounge/diner has large windows that flood the space with light and give direct access to the terrace.
The apartment sits within a well-managed gated development with an impressive communal hallway and intercom-secure entry. Allocated parking is provided in the communal gated car park to the rear, a useful and scarce amenity for the area. The long lease (981 years) offers security for purchase, while the layout is straightforward: entrance hall with storage, double bedroom, modern bathroom, fitted kitchen and the open living space.
Practical costs and limitations are clear: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £2,400pa and a small ground rent of £195pa. Heating is electric (boiler and radiators) which may affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes. At approximately 560 sq ft this is a modest-sized apartment — comfortable for a single occupant or couple but limited for those needing significant storage or separate work-from-home space.
Overall this apartment offers a characterful, low-maintenance base in a sought-after neighbourhood, combining outdoor space and parking with a long lease. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the terrace, light-filled living room and quiet, gated setting.
