No chain and recently refurbished, this two-double-bedroom penthouse in Whalley Range is ready to move into. The apartment benefits from a bright 22ft open-plan living/dining/kitchen, vaulted ceilings and a private balcony facing the park, creating an airy, modern feel. Secure gated entry and off-street residents’ parking add convenience for city commuters.
Practical details favour first-time buyers and investors: a very long lease (979 years), affordable council tax band B and a sensible service charge and ground rent. Gas central heating, double glazing and lift access mean everyday living is straightforward. The property is compact at around 620 sq ft but well laid out for comfortable two-bedroom living.
Be clear about the compromises: the flat is leasehold with an average service charge (£1,020) and a small ground rent (£250). EPC rating C and average broadband speeds may be relevant to efficiency-conscious buyers. The wider area is a multicultural, inner-city neighbourhood with pockets of deprivation, though this development reports very low crime and good local amenities.
Overall this penthouse suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-work, central location opposite Alexandra Park. It offers immediate occupation and strong practical benefits, but buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and consider energy and connectivity standards.
