This seventh-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Islington Wharf offers a contemporary city base with practical extras. The open-plan lounge/kitchen opens to a balcony overlooking a communal terrace, creating a bright social space for relaxing and entertaining. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite, and both bedrooms are a comfortable, medium size for city living.
Practical conveniences include an allocated underground parking space, integrated kitchen appliances, double glazing and an EPC rating of B. The property is chain free and offered with a long lease (approximately 231 years remaining), making it straightforward for mortgage buyers and first-time purchasers.
Considerations are factual and important: the development has a substantial annual service charge (approx. £3,579.40) and a ground rent of £200 pa, and heating is provided via a community mains gas scheme. There is no private garden; external amenity is communal terrace space and nearby public areas. The building sits on a busy main road in a lively, cosmopolitan part of Ancoats with strong transport links but limited quiet outdoor privacy.
Overall this apartment suits someone seeking a low-maintenance, city-centre home or an investor targeting rental demand in a vibrant, student-populated neighbourhood. The combination of parking, a long lease and chain-free sale strengthens its practical appeal, while the service-charge cost and inner-city setting should be weighed when budgeting.
