We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Set within the highly sought after Slate Wharf development alongside the picturesque Castlefield Basin, this beautifully presented two bedroom apartment offers peaceful waterside living whilst remaining just moments from Manchester city centre.
Occupying a top floor position, the property enjoys stunning canal views from all sides, creating a tranquil and unique setting rarely found so close to the heart of the city.
The spacious accommodation has been recently refurbished throughout and briefly comprises an entrance hallway leading into a bright and generous open plan living and kitchen area.
The stylish newly fitted kitchen benefits from integrated appliances and ample storage, whilst the living space is enhanced by a Juliet balcony overlooking the surrounding canals.
There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a contemporary en-suite shower room.
A separate modern family bathroom completes the accommodation, with both bathrooms having been fully refurbished with new sanitaryware and fittings.
Further benefits include laminate wood flooring throughout, electric storage heating, secure gated parking and no onward chain.
A standout feature of the property is the substantial loft area spanning the entire footprint of the apartment, offering excellent potential for conversion into additional living accommodation or a further bedroom, subject to the necessary consents.
Ideally positioned within Castlefield, the apartment is within walking distance of an array of bars, restaurants, shops and scenic canal-side walks, whilst also benefitting from excellent transport links via Deansgate Station, Metrolink services and easy access to the Mancunian Way.
EPC Rating TBC - Subject to contract.
