Set within The Garden House in Manchester’s vibrant Northern Quarter, this second-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a straightforward city-base for a first-time buyer. The double bedroom and living area with a Juliet balcony provide light and a sense of space across 495 sq ft, with double glazing and modern finishes throughout.
Practical details suit buyers seeking low-entry ownership rather than investment: long lease (225 years), EWS1 form (B1), EPC B and no onward chain make the purchase process simpler. Transport links, Metrolink and both Victoria and Piccadilly stations are within easy reach, and a wide range of shops, cafés and amenities are on the doorstep.
Be clear on running costs and local context. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, and the annual service charge is about £1,416. The immediate area is a multicultural, student-focused neighbourhood with lively streets — great for city living but potentially noisy and busy at times.
Overall, this apartment is a practical, low-maintenance choice for someone wanting an accessible city-centre home with a long lease and straightforward purchase paperwork. It would suit a buyer prioritising location and convenience over a large footprint or traditional gas heating.
