Step into a ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment in the heart of Cirencester, offering easy access to town amenities and a dedicated parking space. The communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, well-kept gardens and a 24-hour emergency care line, designed for independent living with on-site support.
The flat is compact (c.430 sq ft) with a comfortably sized bedroom, a cosy living area and practical kitchen and bathroom fittings. It benefits from double glazing and electric storage heating; the layout is straightforward and low-maintenance, suitable for someone looking to downsize without sacrificing proximity to shops and services.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with 58 years remaining from September 2024 — this is below the level many mortgage lenders accept and could make mortgage finance difficult or impossible. The annual service charge is high (£4,595.24) and ground rent is £427.06 per year; prospective buyers should factor these ongoing costs into affordability calculations.
This flat is offered chain-free, which may speed moving for a buyer who can purchase outright or arrange specialist leasehold lending. Note also the reported very high local crime rate; interested buyers should research local safety and support networks before committing.
