This top-floor one-bedroom apartment on Great Western Road offers a compact, practical home in central Gloucester.

Important practical points are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with about 100 years remaining, an average-sized 503 sq ft layout, service charge around £1,500 pa and a small ground rent of £192 pa. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, which may affect home-working tenants.
Be aware of local safety statistics: crime levels are very high in this neighbourhood, which will influence both resale and lettings considerations. Overall, the apartment is a sensible, low-maintenance option for a first step on the housing ladder or a hands-off rental purchase, provided buyers factor in service charges, utility costs and location-specific issues.
