This modern one‑bed apartment in Merchants Quay offers waterside living with secure allocated parking and no onward chain. The open‑plan living/kitchen opens to a Juliet balcony with westerly views across the main water basin—an attractive spot for evening relaxation or entertaining. Built in 2011, the flat benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a recently rated EPC B (81).
The property suits first‑time buyers seeking a compact city home or investors targeting Gloucester Quays rental demand; the listing cites potential rental income of £895 pcm. Practical features include an entry intercom, lift access, built‑in storage and a secure gated development with communal maintenance handled by the management company.
Notable costs and considerations are clear: this is a leasehold property (200‑year lease from 1992, circa 166 years remaining) with an annual service charge around £2,166.98 and a council tax Band B. The wider dockside location is lively and well served by amenities, but recorded local crime levels are very high and the area is marked as very deprived—factors to weigh for families and some buyers.
Overall this is a well‑presented, chain‑free apartment with strong waterside appeal and rental potential, balanced by ongoing service charges, leasehold tenure and local area safety challenges.
