Summary - Flat, 53 Southgate Street GL1 1TX
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright two-bedroom with private courtyard, chain-free and newly renovated.
Two double bedrooms in a duplex layout
A spacious two-bedroom duplex apartment set within a handsome Grade II listed Georgian building on Southgate Street. The layout includes two double bedrooms, an open kitchen/diner and a bright lounge with high ceilings and exposed beams, recently renovated to a modern standard. The property has its own street entrance and a private rear courtyard, making it feel more like a small house than a flat.
Practical benefits include a very long lease (981 years remaining from the 999-year term), mains gas central heating, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The apartment is chain-free and positioned in Gloucester city centre, minutes from Gloucester Quays, shops and transport links — appealing for buyers who want central living or buy-to-let potential.
Important considerations: listed status means restrictions and potential additional consents for alterations, and the building’s solid-brick walls likely have limited insulation. The area records higher crime and significant deprivation locally, which some buyers will want to weigh against the location benefits.
Overall this is a well-presented, ready-to-move-in home that suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a characterful city-centre property with long lease security and courtyard outdoor space.
