Summary - 13 SISKIN DRIVE CHELTENHAM GL51 0WW
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright first-floor flat with long lease, parking, and low running costs for entry-level buyers.
Two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes
This well-presented first-floor two-bedroom flat offers a compact, bright living space in a modern development close to local amenities and good schools. At 568 sq ft the layout is practical: an open-plan kitchen/living area, two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, and one bathroom. The long lease (999 years from 2006), low ground rent (£100pa) and below-average service charge (£75pm, includes building insurance) make ownership straightforward for a first-time buyer or landlord.
Practical features include off-street resident parking, double glazing, and electric storage heaters. The development’s construction date (2003–2006) and recent double glazing suggest limited immediate structural work, but the property’s electric heating may be less economical than gas alternatives. The apartment is small and best suited to buyers seeking an affordable, low-maintenance home or an investor targeting reliable rental demand.
Buyers should note the wider area has higher crime levels and local deprivation indicators. These factors can affect resale values and lettings in some parts of the locality. Overall, the flat presents a sensible entry-level purchase with long lease security, modern presentation and nearby schools and transport links including easy access to the M5.
