This two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette offers a practical entry into homeownership with private outdoor space and off-street parking. Set in a Victorian mid-terrace, the layout includes an open-plan lounge/diner, kitchen/breakfast room, utility area and a low-maintenance rear garden. The property is share-of-freehold and totals about 699 sq ft — a sensible size for a first home or rental unit.
The apartment benefits from modern UPVC double glazing and an average-sized living space with bay window natural light. Main heating is via electric storage (night) heaters; the building has solid brick walls with no fitted cavity insulation, which could affect running costs compared with gas-heated properties. Council tax is very cheap, partially offsetting the electric heating expense.
Practical considerations: the building dates from before 1900 and will suit buyers comfortable with older properties. The area is an urban cultural mix with excellent mobile and fast broadband, nearby shops, takeaways and good primary and secondary schools close by. Crime levels in the immediate locality are very high, so buyers should factor security and insurance costs into their plans.
This home is well-placed for first-time buyers wanting low-entry cost and immediate rental potential. There is scope for cosmetic refresh and targeted efficiency upgrades (insulation, heating) to reduce bills and improve long-term value. Viewings recommended for those seeking an affordable, characterful apartment in Gloucester city suburb.
