Occupying a fourth-floor position on St George’s Island, this two-double-bedroom apartment offers straightforward city-centre living and reliable rental appeal. The open-plan kitchen and living area opens onto a full-width private balcony accessible from both bedrooms, extending the living space and delivering generous natural light. An EWS1 form with an A1 rating is in place.
At about 601 sq ft, the apartment is compact but well laid out with two bathrooms (one ensuite), double glazing and integrated kitchen appliances. Heating is electric via room heaters, which keeps the installation simple but can mean higher running costs compared with gas. Service charges and ground rent apply: service charge c. £2,665.24 pa and ground rent c. £259.31 pa, reviewed every ten years.
Castlefield’s canals, cobbled streets and close transport links make this an attractive location for tenants and commuters. The property sits within walking distance of Metrolink stops and the city centre, with frequent shops, bars and amenities nearby. Estimated rental yield is around 6.86% based on £1,200 pcm, making it well suited to buy-to-let purchasers or investors seeking a low-management city asset.
Buyers should note the lease information supplied is inconsistent: documents reference a 125-year lease from 1 May 2006 but also list both 86 and 105 years remaining. Prospective purchasers should verify the current lease term and enquire about long-term maintenance plans. Overall, this is a modern, compact apartment offering immediate rental potential in a sought-after central location.
