This light, first-floor two-bedroom apartment sits within a purpose-built retirement complex in sought-after Charlton Kings, steps from countryside walks and village amenities. The dual-aspect living/dining room floods with light and overlooks well-kept communal gardens. A modern kitchen, built-in storage in the hallway, gas central heating and double glazing make the flat comfortable and low-maintenance.
Designed for over-60s living, the block provides practical communal facilities: lift access, communal laundry, resident and visitor parking, guest room, a 24-hour pull-cord alarm service and Wi‑Fi. The property is offered as a 70% shared ownership under the Leasehold Scheme for Elderly (LSE), making it more affordable than a full-market purchase and with no onward chain.
Important considerations: the lease has 66 years remaining from 1991, which may affect mortgage availability and value. The annual service charge is approximately £3,665 and there is shared ownership which restricts full ownership unless you buy additional equity. Prospective buyers should seek mortgage advice and legal guidance about lease length, service charge obligations and shared-ownership terms before committing.
For a downsizer seeking a secure, social retirement setting close to Cheltenham’s shops and transport links, this apartment delivers practical comfort and attractive communal amenities. Its location offers a balance of village convenience and quick access to wider regional routes, while the lease and costs are the key factors to weigh up.
