Introduction

Piccadilly Village was a pioneer of city centre living when constructed in the early 1990s, and remains a highly-regarded development comprising a series of attractive low rise blocks arranged around scenic canal basins. The location is perfect to access everything Manchester has to offer, with Piccadilly station just a few minutes' walk offering excellent transport links. The wider city centre, Northern Quarter, Ancoats and New Islington Marina are also all within very easy reach, with the canal towpaths perfect for a gentle stroll or run. This particular apartment is a rarely available 3 bedroom design, enjoying some of the best open views across the canal basin from its primary balcony, as well as a secondary balcony overlooking Chapeltown Street. The apartment is beautifully presented throughout and features a recently refitted kitchen.
