Summary - 17 ORCHARD CLOSE LONGFORD GLOUCESTER GL2 9BB
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Chain-free two-bedroom with garden and strong rental potential.
Own entrance with private front and rear gardens and gated rear access
A ground-floor, two-bedroom maisonette with its own entrance and private front and rear gardens — offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The layout delivers a bright living room and a practical kitchen with direct garden access, ideal for first-time buyers wanting outside space in town. The long lease (circa 880 years remaining) and nominal ground rent make the tenure straightforward for mortgage applications.
The property has clear buy-to-let potential with a likely rental of around £1,000 pcm, and recent works to the roof and guttering have been carried out (seller’s information; dates tbc). The current EPC is D68 with scope to improve to around C77, so modest energy upgrades could reduce bills and increase value. Gas central heating, double glazing and a compact footprint mean running costs are relatively low — council tax is in Band A.
Notable practical points: the building is solid-brick with assumed no wall insulation, so walls and overall energy performance would benefit from investment. The area records above-average crime and a medium flood risk — these are important when considering insurance and safety measures. The maisonette is small (around 600 sq ft) and best suited to a couple, small family or buy-to-let investor prepared to refresh the interior.
Overall this is a low-cost entry into Gloucester with private outside space, a very long lease and straightforward holding costs. It will most appeal to buyers who prioritise outdoor space and a short, manageable renovation to boost comfort and rental/value potential.
