Flat 6,3 Friars Orchard,GLOUCESTER,GL1 1GA
GL1 1GA
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Bright, roomy first-floor flat with parking and lift access.
City-centre location, close to station and docks
This well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a modern block just minutes from Gloucester city centre, the train station and Gloucester Docks. The open-plan living/kitchen area measures over 24 feet and benefits from multiple deep windows, creating a bright, airy feel. A master bedroom with en-suite plus a second double bedroom make the layout practical for a couple, small family or sharer arrangement.
Practical conveniences include lift access, allocated off-street parking and triple-glazed windows that help reduce external noise. The building was completed in 2014 and the long lease (around 239 years remaining) provides security for buyers. Pets are allowed with permission, and broadband and excellent mobile signal are available in the area.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an annual service charge of about £1,529 (covers lift, communal cleaning, gardening, window cleaning and lighting) and a ground rent of £91 per year; the next ground rent review is due in July 2026. Heating is electric via room heaters, which can be more costly than gas systems, and the bathrooms are compact though functional.
The property sits in a largely urban, cosmopolitan neighbourhood popular with students and young families. The location offers many local amenities and transport links but crime levels and area deprivation are recorded as high/very deprived, so buyers sensitive to local social factors should view the area at different times of day first. Overall, this apartment offers a convenient, low-maintenance city living option with clear investment or first-home potential, balanced by leasehold costs and heating considerations.
