Two-bed, 645 sqft apartment in Castlefield — no chain and great transport links.
Castlefield location; short walk to city centre and Cornbrook Metrolink
Light-filled two-bedroom apartment in The Base, set in the sought-after Castlefield pocket and a short walk from the city centre and Cornbrook Metrolink. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area benefits from large windows and wood-style flooring, creating a bright, low-maintenance living space suited to modern city life.
This gently sized home includes two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and useful hallway storage — arranged across about 645 sq ft. Double glazing and contemporary construction (circa 2003–2006) give the apartment a relatively low-maintenance feel, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working or streaming.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and being sold with no onward chain, which can speed a purchase but means buyers should check lease length, service charges and ground rent. Heating is electric via room heaters, which may be costlier than gas alternatives and worth budgeting for. There is a single bathroom serving two bedrooms.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers seeking a compact, well-located city base or investors targeting Castlefield’s strong rental demand from students and professionals. The neighbourhood is cosmopolitan and student-rich, with very low crime, nearby amenities, canals and good transport links to Salford Quays and the wider city.
