A compact, first-floor retirement apartment in the heart of Cirencester, ideal for someone seeking town-centre convenience and low-maintenance living. The sitting room with a box bay window faces the communal gardens, while an open-plan kitchen keeps the layout practical and easy to manage. Building facilities include lift access, a residents' lounge with kitchenette, a visitors' flat, and a 24-hour emergency care line — useful for independent retirees.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold retirement flat for over-60s with approximately 56–57 years remaining on the lease. That remaining term is below typical lender requirements and many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend; purchase will often require cash or specialist mortgage advice. Heating is electric room heaters rather than central heating, which may affect running costs and comfort compared with gas or central systems.
The apartment is small (circa 482 sq ft) but well laid out for practical living: double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, shower room, and a bright sitting room overlooking communal grounds. Its town-centre position places shops, services and transport links within a short walk, making daily errands straightforward. Note the local crime statistic provided is very high; prospective buyers should check local safety information and communal security measures before committing.
Overall this property suits a downsizer or retiree wanting a low-upkeep base close to Cirencester amenities, provided they accept the lease length and the likely finance limitations. The building’s communal facilities and central location are strong positives; however, the short lease and electric heating are material considerations that will affect financing, resale and running costs.
