Set on the tenth floor of The Lightbox, this one-bedroom apartment gives you elevated waterside views across Salford Quays and MediaCity. The open-plan living and kitchen area opens onto a private balcony, bringing brightness and city vistas into everyday living. Built-in wardrobes, integrated kitchen appliances and a contemporary bathroom complete a practical, modern home for a single buyer or couple.
The building offers secure access, concierge, bike storage and optional car parking to rent, making it easy for city life and commuting. EPC B, a very long lease (241 years) and low crime in the area add practical reassurance. The flat’s layout and finishes favour renters or first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance urban base close to BBC and ITV.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an annual service charge around £2,765 and ground rent of about £288. Broadband speeds in the building are reported very slow, and parking is not included (spaces available to rent). The apartment is compact at about 584 sq ft, so storage and living space are modest compared with a house.
Overall this apartment works well for someone wanting a modern, low-upkeep city pied-à-terre or a rental investment with strong tenant demand. The location, views and building services are key strengths; be prepared to budget for service charges, optional parking and building-wide broadband limitations.
