Set on the middle floor with direct outlooks over the Abbey grounds and St John Baptist church, this two-bedroom apartment offers a quiet, central base ideal for someone looking to downsize or invest in Cirencester. The sitting room and both bedrooms enjoy a sunny southerly aspect, and the development includes well-kept communal gardens and a single garage.
The flat requires sympathetic renovation, giving a buyer scope to update kitchen, bathroom and decor to modern tastes. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property is connected to mains services; double glazing is fitted but install date is unknown. The long lease (965 years remaining) removes typical leasehold pressures and the current service charge is £1,600 per year with a peppercorn ground rent.
Practicalities to note: the apartment is offered chain free, EPC band C (73), council tax band D, and there is no flooding risk. The location places you within easy walking distance of Cirencester town centre amenities, schools and transport links.
A material drawback is the local crime level, recorded as very high — buyers should factor this into security and insurance considerations. Overall, this is a solid, centrally positioned property with good future potential for an owner-occupier seeking a low-maintenance town-centre home or an investor prepared to refurbish.
