2 bed flat for sale

Albany Road, Manchester M21

Now is the time for something a little different and in M21 different is good! This exceptional duplex apartment offers the feel of a house, set in the heart of Chorlton. With two double bedrooms, two reception rooms, and a private garden, it combines space, style, and versatility — all with the added benefits of apartment living.

Seriously though duplexes like this don't come up often and when they do they attract first time buyers, families, investors and downsizers alike as there's a little something for everyone.

The thing that will jump out to most buyers will be the garden space which is owned entirely by the apartment giving you a larger than expected space to lounge in to the rear. But don't be fooled, the apartment itself is the star of the show. As mentioned it's set up like a house and it's obvious as soon as you step foot in the door. This isn't your usual open plan apartment, this duplex has two distinct reception rooms with a living room to the front with the huge bay window and the dining room to the rear that gets all the sun in the afternoon through to the evening. They are currently open to each other separated by the stairs and a handy storage space (it even fits a bike comfortably!) but you could easily look to install some feature crittall-style doors or similar if you wanted that separation. The scale of this place won't be apparent on the photos but with over 800sqft of living space, it is larger than some local two bed terraces.

The kitchen flows seamlessly to the dining room but again has a high end finish and the stylish colour scheme that is apparent throughout the apartment. This dining area will most likely be the party spot during the colder months before the outside space takes over and you host the summer BBQs!

The magic keeps happening downstairs with the two double bedrooms but you've also got a large hallway which adds to the storage space upstairs, something a lot of apartments can't compete with. The main bedroom is located under the living room so has the bay while offering room for fitted wardrobes if needed alongside a king size bed. The second bedroom is currently used as the home office with a pull out bed but it's easily large enough to be used as the main bedroom with access to the patio outside and the stairs up to the garden. The bathroom finishes off the internal space and it could be a case of saving the best for last, it's another brilliantly presented space and even has space to hide the washing machine to keep the noise away from the living room.

Back to that outside space though, as mentioned you'll access the lower ground floor patio through the second bedroom. While this one was being photographed this patio space was flooded with light which explains why there is a table and chair set up perfectly for a morning cuppa. Heading up the stairs you'll access the larger garden space with its gorgeous stone tiles and loads of space for table and chairs, BBQ and plenty of potted plants! This will be your outdoor escape that many apartments simply can't offer and in fact is bigger than many terraced homes have locally too.

To top everything off you are sat right in the heart of Chorlton with all those independent bars, restaurants and shops on your doorstep from The Oystercatcher to Brewski and the Barbakan to Out of the Blue. These independent businesses are the soul of Chorlton along with the great community with diverse residents. Chorlton regularly appears in the top places to buy in the UK and it's easy to see why. The magic doesn't stop at retail though as you've got the Metrolink on your doorstep along with the Fallowfield Loop if you are cycling along with bus and road networks. You've also got outstanding schooling locally and plenty of green spaces to explore as well. Properties in M21 are always popular and the location will always be a big draw.

Vendor's favourite features: “This was my first home, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better place to start. From the day I moved in, I loved how bright and open the apartment feels. The large bay windows have always been a favourite feature, overlooking the trees and gardens and bringing in natural light throughout the day and into the evening.

Despite being so close to the centre with its bars and restaurants, the garden is surprisingly quiet — a perfect spot to relax or entertain in the heart of Chorlton.

It’s also been incredibly practical to live in. Everything you need is on your doorstep — supermarkets, local shops, and Beech Road is just a 10-minute walk away. The transport links are excellent, with the tram just two minutes away, along with great bus and cycle routes. Parking has always been easy too, with space available outside the flat. Plus, it’s ideally located for trips further afield, whether that’s the Peak District, the Lake District, or the coast.

I’ll really miss living here — it’s been a very happy home. I’m only moving as i’m relocating to a slightly larger place, and I hope the next owner enjoys living here just as much as I have.”
