A purpose-built over-60s flat on the second floor of Cathedral Court, offering independent living close to Gloucester town centre. The L-shaped one-bedroom layout of about 513 sq ft is well presented, with a bright living room, a practical kitchen and a single bathroom — suitable for a downsizer seeking a manageable home with communal support.
The development provides useful communal facilities: a residents' lounge, shared laundry, communal garden, off-street parking, lift access to all floors and a 24-hour emergency response system. The long lease (979 years) and chain-free sale reduce long-term ownership uncertainty.
Notable running costs and local issues are factual realities: an average service charge of around £4,000 a year and electric storage heating will affect monthly outgoings. Broadband speeds in the area are slow and the local crime rate is recorded as very high — both important for daily comfort and security considerations.
This flat will appeal to older buyers wanting a social, low-maintenance setting near transport links and local amenities. It also suits those who accept communal living and are comfortable managing higher service charges and electric heating, or who plan modest upgrades to improve energy efficiency and connectivity.
