Chain-free two-bed near Metrolink—ideal for first-time buyers or investors..
Chain-free first-floor two-bedroom apartment
This first-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a popular gated development close to Crossacres Metrolink, making it a practical choice for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. The home has been recently redecorated and offers a bright lounge with a juliette balcony, a fitted kitchen, two bathrooms (including an en suite) and an allocated off-street parking space.
The property is chain-free and leasehold with around 129 years remaining. Communal features include a lift and secured coded entry. Practical running costs to note: an average service charge of about £3,254 per year and an annual ground rent of £207.16.
Internally the flat is compact (approximately 507 sq ft) but well laid out for everyday living. EPC rating C and gas central heating with double glazing are positives. Nearby amenities, Wythenshawe Centre and good Metrolink connections to Manchester city centre and the airport add commuting convenience.
Important drawbacks to consider: the area scores as very deprived and surface water flood risk is recorded as high (rivers/sea flood risk is very low). The size makes it better suited to a couple, single occupant or investor rather than a growing family.
