This bright two-bedroom Retirement Living PLUS apartment sits in the waterside Llanthony Place development, a short, level walk from Gloucester’s quay and city amenities. The layout is accessible and practical with a good-sized lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, wet-room shower, cloakroom and a generous master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe. Windows face the canalside and landscaped gardens, bringing in natural light and pleasant views.
The development is designed for over-70s and includes an Estate Manager, 24-hour on-site care team, emergency call system and communal facilities such as a homeowners’ lounge, bistro, function room and guest suite. One allocated parking space (stated value £10,000) and landscaped communal grounds are included; pets are permitted.
Positive practical points include a very long lease (993 years), full-fibre broadband, and built-in safety features such as an intruder alarm and ventilated hot-water system. However, this lifestyle comes with substantial running costs: an annual service charge of £12,763.44 and a ground rent of £510 (next review 2034) — these cover staffing, maintenance and many communal services but materially increase ongoing outgoings. Heating is electric panel heaters and room heaters, and the property sits in a location with medium flood risk, which should be considered for insurance and personal safety planning.
This apartment will suit downsizers and retirees who prioritise on-site support, social facilities and low-mobility design in a central, waterside setting. It offers convenience and security, but buyers should review the service charge, ground rent and flood-insurance implications before committing.
