Compact, chain-free one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Cheltenham, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain-free second-floor apartment with open-plan living
Set on the second floor of a modern brick apartment block, this compact one-bedroom home offers convenient city-centre living with no onward chain. The open-plan living area and generous bedroom make the most of the apartment’s 410 sq ft, with natural light through double glazing and a contemporary kitchen layout suited to a single professional or first-time buyer.
Practical running costs are straightforward: a 111-year lease remains, average service charge approximately £1,200 pa and ground rent £250 pa. Parking is by permit/on-street, and the location places shops, cafes, bus links and the university within easy walking distance — ideal for students and professionals.
Buyers should note a few material points: the overall footprint is small, the local crime rate is above average, and the listing mentions electric heating while property records indicate a mains gas boiler and radiators — prospective purchasers should verify heating details. The building’s solid brick construction suggests limited cavity insulation; there may be scope for thermal improvements subject to building consent.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a city-centre studio-style apartment with straightforward access to amenities and good rental demand. It offers practical, no-frills urban living with potential to update interiors over time.
