Summary - LEXINGTON, 42 FLAT 25 CHORLTON STREET MANCHESTER M1 3HW
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Light-filled Victorian conversion with mezzanine office in central Manchester, ideal for investors or city living.
Large one-bedroom duplex with mezzanine office and high vaulted ceilings
Set within an attractive Victorian school conversion on Chorlton Street, this large one-bedroom duplex offers dramatic vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light. The open-plan living area and mezzanine office create flexible space well suited to city living or rental use. Original period features combine with contemporary touches such as wooden flooring and a floating staircase to give real character.
Practical details matter: the property is leasehold with 97 years remaining, an annual service charge of £1,960 and no ground rent. Heating is via electric storage heaters and walls are likely uninsulated solid brick — factor potential running costs and retrofit work into plans. EPC is pending; buyers should budget for energy improvements.
This location places Manchester’s amenities, transport and student populations on the doorstep, supporting either city-centre living or a buy-to-let strategy aimed at professionals or students. The mezzanine suits a home office or creative studio, increasing the apartment’s versatility. Note the local area is described as a multicultural student neighbourhood with higher area deprivation — consider demand and management implications if letting.
Overall, this is a distinctive, light-filled city centre apartment with strong visual appeal and flexible space. It requires attention to energy efficiency and leasehold/service-charge considerations but offers a rare, characterful alternative to standard one-bed flats in Manchester.
