This modern two-bedroom apartment sits on the border of Chorlton and Whalley Range, close to Metrolink and bus links for quick city access. The building is recent and well kept, with secure intercom access, communal gardens and residents’ off-street parking — practical benefits for a first home.
Inside are two double bedrooms, a neutral bathroom with bath and overhead shower, a comfortable living room and a separate fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. One bedroom has an external balcony. Double glazing and relatively new construction add to the low-maintenance feel.
Practical costs are clear: a long lease (circa 238 years), an average service charge and a small ground rent, plus very low council tax. Heating is electric with a boiler and radiators, so running costs may be higher than gas alternatives. The property is compact at around 571 sq ft, making it best suited to first-time buyers, small households or buy-to-let investors seeking a straightforward, modern apartment close to amenities.
Note the surrounding area is classified as deprived but benefits from very low crime levels and good local schools. The flat offers sensible starter-home value with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential, but buyers should factor in service charges and the electric heating arrangement when assessing ongoing costs.
