This first-floor two-bedroom apartment on Great Western Road offers substantial living space (approx. 1,332 sq ft) in a modern red-brick complex close to Gloucester Royal Hospital and the city centre. The layout includes a good-size lounge with patio doors, a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms with an ensuite to the master, and allocated off-street parking — useful for commuters and hospital staff.
Chain-free and with around 100 years remaining on the lease, the property presents clear appeal for first-time buyers or landlords. Current estimates suggest a rental income of about £850pcm (approx. 7.0% yield), making it a realistic buy-to-let option. The building benefits from double glazing and a communal garden area.
Buyers should note several practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters, broadband speeds are described as slow, and the area records very high crime levels. The service charge averages £1,848 annually. These factors affect running costs and comfort and should be reviewed alongside viewing.
Overall this is a spacious, well-located apartment with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential, particularly suited to those prioritising location near the hospital and transport links. A viewing will confirm the internal condition and suitability for renovation or modernisation where desired.
