This two-bedroom apartment on Bolton Road is offered chain-free, making it straightforward for first-time buyers to move quickly. The open-plan living area, private balcony and main bedroom with en-suite create a comfortable, modern home ready to occupy. Resident off-street parking and a C-rated EPC add practical appeal.
There are some recurring costs and local issues to factor into your decision. The property is leasehold with approximately 106 years remaining, an average annual service charge around £1,295.44 (quarterly £323.86) and a higher ground rent (£618 per year). Heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating.
Location benefits include nearby schools (several rated Good), fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to bus routes and the M65. However the wider area is very deprived with higher-than-average crime rates — important for buyers to consider when weighing long-term value and insurance costs.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor after a low-entry, well-presented flat in a modern block. It needs little immediate alteration internally but budget for the leasehold costs and consider the area profile when assessing suitability and resale potential.
