This top-floor, McCarthy Stone retirement apartment is designed for comfortable over-70 living. Built in 2020, the two-bedroom flat is beautifully presented with bespoke shutters, a handcrafted display cabinet, and a wider-than-average dining area that looks towards Llanthony Priory and the communal gardens. Lift access, an allocated parking space and well-maintained grounds make daily life straightforward and low-maintenance.
Communal facilities are a major benefit: a subsidised on-site bistro, residents’ lounge, guest suite (reserveable), secure mobility storage, laundry room and 24-hour staffing. The service charge includes one hour per week of domestic assistance, exterior window cleaning, water rates, buildings insurance and emergency call, supporting independent living with on-site support.
Be clear about the running costs and utilities: the annual service charge is £12,195.60 and ground rent is £560 per year (review due 2034). Heating is by electric room heaters, and there is a medium flood risk for the area — both factors to consider for long-term running costs and insurance.
The location is practical and sociable: level walks follow the canal to Gloucester Quays, with shops, restaurants and regular bus services close by. The long lease (999 years from 2020) provides tenure security, making this a sensible choice for downsizers seeking convenience, community and low-exertion maintenance.
