Characterful one-bedroom in The Grand — central, concierge, ready to move in.
Fourth-floor one-bedroom with high ceilings and original wood flooring
Set on the fourth floor of The Grand, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment pairs Victorian character with contemporary living. High ceilings, original wood flooring and large windows create an airy living space, while the open-plan kitchen includes integrated appliances for immediate move-in convenience. The building offers concierge service and an impressive communal residence area, ideal for city-centre living.
The flat is a practical choice for first-time buyers or investors seeking a central Manchester address close to Piccadilly station, plentiful amenities and fast broadband. The long lease (173 years) and double glazing are positive tenure and fabric indicators that support resell or let potential.
Buyers should note a few material realities: heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may affect heating costs and comfort. The service charge is approximately £1,700 per year. The surrounding area is classified as a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood and the wider area shows higher deprivation indices—factors that influence tenant mix and long-term capital growth.
Overall, this apartment offers a characterful, low-maintenance city-base with clear rental and owner-occupier appeal, provided you accept electric heating and factor service charge and insulation considerations into budgeting or refurbishment plans.
