A ground-floor, purpose-built retirement apartment arranged for the over-60s, offered chain free and located a mile from Cheltenham town centre. The well-proportioned one-bedroom layout (approximately 693 sq ft) includes a large dual-aspect living room with a Juliette balcony and a separate kitchen, plus two bathrooms — one shower room and one bathroom — providing practical convenience for residents and visitors.
The apartment benefits from warden-assisted living, communal gardens and off-street residential parking. Built in the early 1990s, the block offers double glazing and a timber-frame construction; the neighbourhood is affluent with excellent local amenities and transport links close by (bus stop c.50 yards, shops and GP within 0.5 mile).
Notable costs and limitations are factual: the property is leasehold with about 62 years remaining and an average annual service charge of around £3,300. The relatively short lease may restrict mortgage options and some lenders could refuse to lend. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas in colder months.
This apartment suits a downsizer or retiree seeking ground-floor convenience, communal support and proximity to town amenities. It also offers scope for modernisation—carpets and some fittings appear dated—so buyers should budget for updating. Lease and lending queries should be checked early with a solicitor and prospective mortgage provider.
