Description
Northern Group are delighted to bring to the market this characterful one bedroom apartment, occupying a prime top-floor corner position within an attractive late 19th-century converted building in the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter.
Located within the Smithfield Conservation Area, the apartment combines the character of the building's industrial heritage with a bright, modern interior. A particular feature is the abundance of natural light, with eight traditional vertically sliding sash windows, all internally double glazed, creating a dual-aspect outlook with rooftop views across the Northern Quarter.
The accommodation centres around a bright open-plan living, dining and kitchen space. Its dual aspect corner position and numerous sash windows create a particularly light and airy feel, with rooftop views across the surrounding Northern Quarter. The fitted kitchen provides ample worktop and storage space, integrated cooking appliances and a useful breakfast bar/seating area.
The double bedroom again benefits from two large sash windows, while the contemporary bathroom has been stylishly modernised with monochrome metro tiling, black fittings, countertop basin and a glazed walk-in shower.
The apartment also benefits from an electric flow boiler with Wi-Fi enabled smart heating controls, together with secondary underfloor heating.
Positioned on Union Street, the property sits in the heart of the Northern Quarter, surrounded by the independent cafés, bars, restaurants, shops and creative spaces for which the area is renowned. Ancoats, Piccadilly and the wider city centre are all within easy walking distance.
The building is of original brick construction with no external cladding, and we are advised that an EWS1 certificate is not required. The current service charge is £152.31 per month, with the seller advising that the building has healthy sinking/cyclical funds, no service charge arrears and currently no major works planned.
Another particularly attractive feature is the ground rent of just £10 per annum, fixed for the term of the lease with no review or index-linking provisions.
Offered chain free with vacant possession, the apartment should appeal to both owner-occupiers looking for a distinctive city centre home and investors. Northern Group anticipate a rental income in the region of £1,300 pcm, subject to market conditions at the time of letting.
With its prime top-floor corner position, dual aspect, rooftop views, eight sash windows and period character, this is an unusual opportunity to acquire a bright and individual apartment in one of Manchester's most established city centre neighbourhoods.
