Summary - The Lightbox, Blue Media City UK, Salford, Greater Manchester, M50 2AD M50 2AD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact one-bedroom with balcony, concierge and strong rental prospects.
Waterside location in MediaCityUK, close to shops and transport
Set on the waterside at the heart of MediaCityUK, this compact one-bedroom flat is an affordable entry into a high-profile, well-serviced development. The open-plan living/kitchen leads to a small private balcony overlooking the canal promenade, and the building provides a manned reception and lift access.
The layout suits a single occupant or buy-to-let investor: a double bedroom with fitted storage, a modern shower room, and a handy utility cupboard. The property comes with a long lease (circa 240 years) and low council tax, and rental demand in the area is strong — local estimates suggest attractive income potential for investors.
Practical points to note: heating is via a community scheme, so residents have limited individual control and should expect service charges. Broadband speeds in the building are reported as very slow despite excellent mobile signal. At about 413 sq ft, the apartment is compact and is best for someone wanting efficient, low-maintenance city living rather than generous living space.
The location is the standout asset: direct access to MediaCity amenities, transport links into Manchester, and immediate proximity to shops, restaurants and waterfront leisure. For first-time buyers seeking a manageable, well-connected starter home — or investors targeting steady rental returns — this property merits an internal viewing.
