A compact ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Gloucester, offered with no onward chain and a long lease of 116 years. The open-plan living/kitchen area and separate shower room make the layout efficient for single occupancy or a rental let. Communal entrance and street-facing windows give a modern, city-centre feel; there is no private outdoor space.
Practical running costs are clear: low council tax (Band A), a below-average service charge (£782pa) and a modest ground rent (£240pa). Heating is by electric room heaters and the property is powered by electricity (unspecified tariff), which should be considered when budgeting for winter use. The apartment is small (around 310 sq ft) with average ceiling heights and basic, functional finishes.
Location is a key selling point: short walks to Gloucester Train Station, Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and the Historic Docks and Quays, plus plentiful local shops and bus links. That accessibility suits first-time buyers wanting a city-base or investors targeting steady rental demand in a well-connected area.
Be candid about the neighbourhood context: local deprivation indicators and a recorded very high crime level mean potential buyers should review personal security priorities and local data. The property’s compact size, low ceilings in places and communal setting make it best suited to a single occupant, couple, or buy-to-let use rather than someone seeking family accommodation or generous living space.
