A unique apartment in one of Greater Manchester's most sought-after areas has just come on the market - and it is likely to get snapped up quick. The three-bed penthouse in Altrincham, Trafford was listed for sale on Zoopla on February 28 and has been chosen as our Property of the Week.
Each week our property journalist will hand-pick a different home that is up for grabs across our region to feature as our 'Property of the Week' - whether that be for its impressive features, reasonable price or stand-out location.
This week's selection is a flat in the area of Broadheath which is found in south Manchester's popular market town. Altrincham is dubbed one of the most popular postcodes in the region and is regularly named amongst the best place to live in the North West by The Sunday Times.

The apartment has been put on the market for £400,000 which is much cheaper than the average house price in Broadheath, with homes selling for around £785,000 over the last year.
The penthouse sits at the top of Urban Splash's Budenberg development and overlooks Altrincham and beyond with unrivalled views from its very own 360 degree rooftop terrace which wraps around the entire home.
Designed by renowned architectural firm Foster + Partners, the apartment is largely open plan with 1,000 square foot of living space.
Inside it boasts impressive design features including a 12 foot high exposed concrete and steel ceiling, full length windows letting in an array of natural light, bamboo flooring and a custom-built Italian kitchen.
The hub of the home is the large open plan kitchen and living space which spans 450 square foot. It features floor to ceiling windows and bifold doors which lead out onto the terrace with multiple seating areas ideal for al fresco dining.
Completing the apartment are three bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a dressing room, and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has private access onto the roof terrace and its own en-suite bathroom.
Outside the impressive roof terrace has both a lower and upper level, with both open and covered areas as well as a section with astro turf. The current owners make use of the space all year round from spring through to winter.
As well as having its own private terrace, all residents at the development can enjoy the use of the communal gardens with sitting areas and lawns which border onto the canal.
The owner also benefits from having access to a secure underground garage with one reserved parking space.
The apartment is conveniently located near to a Metrolink station and it is within walking distance to Altrincham Town Centre and the open space of John Leigh Park.
