This compact two-bedroom terraced house in central Gloucester offers straightforward investment or first-home potential thanks to its short walk to transport links and local amenities. At about 655 sq ft the property has a traditional layout with a separate lounge, kitchen-diner and a small garden — a layout that rents well to commuters or single professionals.
Location is the primary strength: Gloucester train and bus stations are nearby, Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and several schools are within walking distance, and a wide range of shops and services sit close by. The property is chain-free and being sold with a public notice already lodged, which may suit buyers wanting a quicker transaction.
Buyers should be aware of several material considerations. The home is leasehold with around 85 years remaining, and heating is by electric room heaters — upgrading to a central system may be needed for comfort and energy efficiency. The wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, which can affect lettings, resale and insurance costs.
Overall, this is a pragmatic purchase: good central position and clear rental demand, but requiring realistic budgeting for energy improvements, lease considerations and the implications of the local area profile.
