This one-bedroom second-floor apartment in Lefroy Court offers low-maintenance retirement living with pleasant views over a playing field. Constructed in 2003 by McCarthy & Stone, the development provides a lift to all floors, a resident development manager, and a 24-hour emergency call system for added peace of mind.
Communal facilities extend your living space and lifestyle: residents’ lounge with kitchen, laundry room, guest suite and luggage store, plus well-kept communal gardens. The apartment is compact (approximately 562 sq ft) and suited to downsizers seeking a manageable home close to local bus routes into central Cheltenham and Gloucester.
Practical costs and constraints are clear: the property is leasehold (125-year lease from 2003, ~102 years remaining), with an annual service charge of £3,059.18 and ground rent of £385. Electric storage heating and an all-electric supply are installed — convenient but potentially more costly than gas heating. The building is designed specifically for those aged 55 and over, so purchase is conditional on meeting that requirement.
This apartment is best for someone prioritising security, community facilities and a low‑maintenance lifestyle over large private living spaces. The setting and amenities make it an attractive option for retirement living; buyers should factor in ongoing service charges, leasehold rules and the electric heating system when assessing affordability.
