This bright first-floor apartment offers practical city living between Gloucester Docks and the city centre. The open-plan kitchen/lounge opens onto a balcony, providing extra outdoor space and natural light. Two double bedrooms include a main bedroom with an en-suite, making it comfortable for a couple, sharers or first-time buyers.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space and integrated kitchen appliances. At about 798 sq ft the layout is a typical, workable size for urban living and council tax is described as cheap, helping running costs.
Buyers should note important factual drawbacks: the property is leasehold, heating is electric via room heaters (no mains gas central heating), and the local area records high crime and very high deprivation. Those factors may affect running costs, insurance and future resale value. There is no garden — external space is limited to the balcony.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a modern, low-maintenance city base with parking and outdoor space. Its location close to transport, shops and leisure amenities is a strong convenience factor, but purchasers should factor in the tenure, heating type and local area conditions when deciding to view.
