Set over two floors, this spacious three double-bedroom penthouse occupies the top levels of King Edwards Wharf and offers broad canal views and generous living space (approximately 1,746 sq ft). The open-plan living room has floor-to-ceiling glazing, a breakfast-island kitchen with integrated appliances and a private balcony — ideal for entertaining or city living. Two principal bedrooms have ensuite shower rooms and private balconies; the third double bedroom and separate shower room create flexible guest or rental accommodation.
Practical details suit both owner-occupiers and investors: the lease has about 101 years remaining, ground rent is modest at £150, and there is no identified flood risk. The build dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s, with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The apartment’s size and multiple balconies provide strong natural light and good separation between living and sleeping areas.
Be realistic about likely running costs and local character. Council tax is noted as quite expensive and the wider area is a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood — useful for rental demand but potentially busier and noisier than suburban locations. The property is leasehold and additional fees (lease packs, service charges) should be checked before committing.
This penthouse is well suited to investors wanting a large, city-centre buy-to-let with strong proximity to Brindley Place and local amenities, or to buyers seeking an executive urban home with flexible accommodation and far-reaching canal views. A viewing will best convey the scale and light of the duplex layout and the balcony aspects that are the apartment’s strongest selling points.
