A compact, characterful one-bedroom duplex set over the first and second floors of a handsome period building on Barlow Moor Road. High ceilings, bay windows to the front and bespoke plantation shutters bring light and period charm, while a modern kitchen and shower room make the flat move-in ready for a single buyer or couple.
Positioned between West Didsbury’s Burton Road and Didsbury Village, the location is the flat’s strongest selling point — walkable shops, cafés, good transport links and excellent local schools. The building is well maintained and benefits from gated residents’ parking and a small garden area, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Practical details suit first-time buyers: chain-free sale, 111 years remaining on the lease, below-average service charge (£672) and modest ground rent (£200). Council Tax band A keeps running costs low. Note the apartment is small (approx. 410 sq ft), so it’s best for someone seeking an efficient city base rather than spacious living.
A few fabric points to consider: the building is of solid brick construction with assumed lack of wall insulation, and the double glazing is older (installed before 2002), so further energy-efficiency upgrades may be desirable. Overall, this is a well-located, low-running-cost duplex with period character and clear scope for modest improvements to increase comfort or resale value.
