A bright, well-proportioned one-bedroom garden apartment in Douglas House on prestigious Parabola Road. The open-plan reception room and modern fitted kitchen open out to a private south-facing garden and paved terrace — a rare outdoor space for a central Cheltenham flat. The apartment was part of a 2006 conversion and benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and an allocated off-street parking space.
This property suits a first-time buyer or someone seeking a lock-up-and-leave town base close to Montpellier, the Promenade and local independent schools. The long lease (c.986 years) removes a common leasehold concern and the apartment is offered chain-free for a straightforward purchase. The internal layout provides generous living space for a one-bed, with a large sitting room and a modest bedroom.
Buyers should note the material running costs and local context: an annual service charge (circa £2,440.66) applies, and ground rent details are not confirmed. The wider area records very high crime levels, which may concern some purchasers despite the desirable central location. The building is a period conversion with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), and parts of the property may benefit from updating to personalise finishes or improve energy performance.
Overall this is a spacious, well-located one-bedroom with private outside space and parking — a strong practical choice for a first-time buyer who values location and outdoor amenity, while accepting some communal costs and the need to consider security and fabric improvements over time.
