The annual service charge is substantial at £9,006.60 (reviewed annually) but includes heating and water. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis and communal outdoor space is limited.
Set in leafy Leckhampton with good local shops, cafes and bus links to central Cheltenham, this apartment may suit downsizers or buyers seeking a low-maintenance, supported-living option close to amenities. Purchasers should satisfy themselves on lease terms, service charge implications and parking provision before proceeding.
