Set within a converted red-brick warehouse on Whitworth Street, this third-floor apartment offers strong rental and lifestyle appeal. The open-plan living space, double-height ceilings and large windows create loft-style character and uninterrupted views across Sackville Gardens. At around 850 sq ft, the two-bedroom layout includes a mezzanine, solid oak floors and a tidy L-shaped kitchen with integrated appliances.
The property sits in a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood near the University of Manchester, Gay Village and both Piccadilly and Oxford Road stations. Historically it has achieved £1,450 pcm in rent, making it attractive to buy-to-let investors or buyers seeking central city living. Chain-free sale and a peppercorn ground rent simplify purchase mechanics.
Notable costs and practical points are clear: the flat is leasehold with a service charge of circa £3,939 pa and electric room heaters (no communal gas heating), which can affect running costs. Broadband speeds are average and the local area scores as deprived, which may influence long-term capital growth for some buyers. Off-street parking options are available nearby but not necessarily dedicated to this flat.
Overall this is a characterful central apartment with strong commuter links and proven rental history. It suits an investor seeking immediate lettability or a buyer wanting a large, light-filled city home who is comfortable with leasehold ownership and the associated service costs.
