Set on the top floor of the City Gate development in Castlefield, this one-bedroom apartment offers compact, low-maintenance city living with a private balcony and clear city views. The open-plan living/kitchen maximises natural light from large windows and the double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes for efficient storage.
The property is attractive to investors and city professionals: it currently achieves £980 pcm, producing an immediate rental income, and can be sold with vacant possession on request. The 125-year lease provides long-term security, and the below-average service charge helps running costs remain reasonable.
Important practical points: the home is small at around 431 sq ft so suits single buyers or couples, and heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system. Buyers should check the working condition of appliances and services themselves. Overall, this is a well-located modern apartment with rental appeal and easy city access.
