Inside the vibrant Manchester apartment with £210,000 price tag that's 'perfect for a first-time buyer'

An apartment has come on the market in an area near to Manchester city centre which has been branded as 'perfect' for a first-time buyer looking to take their first step onto the property ladder. The two-bed flat is housed inside a Grade II listed building in Miles Platting, an inner city area that sits along the Rochdale Canal.

In recent years, the area has benefited from big regeneration projects in east Manchester with new schools, swimming pools and housing all being developed in the area. Over the last year, the average sold price for a property in Miles Platting was £266,181, but this two-bed apartment has been listed for a cheaper price of £210,000.
