Modern 2-bed riverside apartment with parking — strong rental appeal near city centre.
Riverside first-floor flat with balcony and river views
A waterside two-bedroom apartment on the first floor with a balcony overlooking the River Irwell — a compact, modern home that also performs well as a city-centre rental. The open-plan living/kitchen and two double bedrooms suit sharers, professionals or investors targeting the nearby student and commuter market. Secure off-street parking and a favourable EWS1 A1 certificate add practical value and lettability.
Practical running notes: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, and the property has an EPC rating of C. Annual costs include an average service charge of £2,749 and ground rent of £270. The lease has about 105 years remaining, offering long-term security for buyers or landlords.
Location is a key strength — within walking distance of Manchester city centre, Castlefield and retail amenities; very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support modern renters. The apartment is average-sized at 621 sq ft and modern in build (constructed 2003–2006), so buyers should expect standard city-flat proportions rather than large family rooms.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance riverside apartment with immediate rental appeal and clear ownership credentials. Buyers should factor in running costs and electric heating when assessing monthly returns or household bills.
