Description

Plot 3 is a stylish two bedroom apartment within the desirable Two Didsbury Point development, ideally located in the heart of West Didsbury and offering a rare opportunity to buy through Shared Ownership in one of South Manchester's most sought-after residential areas.

The apartment features a generous open plan kitchen, dining and living area, designed to feel bright and spacious and ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The modern fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and contemporary finishes, creating a practical yet stylish living space.

Both bedrooms are well proportioned, offering flexibility for use as a guest bedroom, home office or additional storage. The bathroom is finished with modern fittings and complementary tiling, reflecting the overall contemporary design of the apartment.

Residents benefit from access to a landscaped communal rooftop garden with seating, providing valuable outdoor space rarely found in apartment living. The development also offers bike storage and limited on-site parking.

Situated in vibrant West Didsbury, the property is within easy walking distance of Burton Road, renowned for its independent cafés, bars, pubs and restaurants. Burton Road Metrolink stop is a short walk away, offering direct tram services into Manchester city centre in around 35 minutes and MediaCityUK in approximately 30 minutes. Local green spaces including Marie Louise Gardens are close by, while Manchester Airport can be reached by car in around 10 minutes.

The apartment forms part of a sustainable, energy-efficient development incorporating solar panels and air source heat pumps, helping to improve energy performance and reduce running costs.

The property is available via Shared Ownership, providing a flexible and accessible route to home ownership. Shared Ownership allows buyers to purchase a share of the property and pay rent on the remaining share, with the option to increase ownership over time through staircasing, subject to eligibility and affordability.
