This one-bedroom first-floor apartment at Waterford Court is designed for independent retirement living close to Cheltenham town centre. Bright, well-presented living space and a generous double bedroom offer comfortable, manageable accommodation for one or two people. The development provides practical on-site support including a lodge manager five days a week and a 24-hour Careline for added security.
Communal facilities are a strong selling point: an owners’ lounge with regular social events, attractive communal gardens, a guest suite for visiting family, and off-street residents’ parking. The development is wheelchair-accessible and well placed for local shops, GP surgery and frequent bus routes into town and Gloucester.
Practical considerations include a leasehold tenure with 99 years remaining and an annual service charge of £2,377.76 covering Careline, building insurance, communal maintenance, gardens and the lodge manager. Heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
This apartment suits downsizers and retirees seeking a community-focused, low-maintenance home close to amenities and transport. It presents straightforward move-in-ready accommodation with useful communal support, while buyers should factor service charges, electric heating and leasehold status into their long-term costs.
