This lift-assisted sixth-floor apartment offers a compact, contemporary one-bedroom home in the heart of Bury town centre. The open-plan lounge and fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a utility cupboard make efficient use of the 1,019 sq ft (approx.) internal space, while large windows provide long-range views and plenty of daylight. The property was built in 2010 and benefits from an EPC B rating.
Practical positives include fitted bedroom furniture, modern bathroom suite, double glazing, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime. The long lease (around 243 years remaining) and Council Tax Band A make this a straightforward ownership proposition. It is conveniently placed for Metrolink, motorway links and local shopping, leisure and schools.
Buyers should note key practical drawbacks: heating is electric room heaters rather than central heating; broadband speeds are reported slow; and the block has an average service charge of about £1,400 per year (£350 quarterly). The property is leasehold and will be sold via online auction with associated terms, ID verification and potential reserve price—viewing and bidding are by appointment only.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a central, low-maintenance home or rental in Bury with long lease security and immediate chain-free purchase, provided you accept electric heating, service charges and the auction sales process.
