This second-floor one-bedroom apartment on Stillwater Drive offers bright, modern living with direct views over the Ashton Canal. The open-plan living area features large sliding glass doors and a balcony, creating a light, airy feel; the kitchen is contemporary with integrated stainless-steel appliances. The property is chain-free and comes with long lease security (231 years remaining).
Location is a major strength: immediate access to the tram, Etihad Complex, Co-op Arena and local amenities makes this a practical city-base for work, study or leisure. Secure residents’ off-street parking, double glazing (installed post-2002) and excellent mobile/broadband connectivity add everyday convenience. Investors may note a stated potential gross yield of around 9%.
Buyers should be aware of ongoing costs and a couple of practical drawbacks. The average service charge is £2,160 per year and heating is electric room heaters rather than a gas or central system, which may mean higher running costs. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived and an inner-city, multicultural student neighbourhood — lively and well connected, but not a low-density suburban location.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable, low-maintenance city home or investors looking for a straightforward let close to transport and major event venues. A viewing is recommended to assess space, layout and running-cost expectations in person.
