A compact, chain-free one-bedroom apartment in a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from Cheltenham town centre. The flat has its own private first-floor entrance, allocated off-street parking and access to communal gardens — practical benefits for a first-time buyer or investor seeking low-entry ownership.
The layout includes a bright lounge/diner, separate small kitchen and a double bedroom with full-height built-in wardrobe. The 382 sq ft footprint is efficient but small; loft access provides useful extra storage. The long lease (960 years) and below-average service charge (approx. £960pa / £80pcm) are strong ownership advantages.
The property requires renovation: décor and fittings are dated and the apartment is served by electric storage heaters. These facts present a clear opportunity to modernise and add value, but buyers should budget for updating heating and finishes. Double glazing is already installed.
Location is convenient for local shops, regular buses and main roads (A40/M5), with a mix of highly qualified professionals nearby and good nearby schooling options. Overall this is a practical, affordable entry point to the Cheltenham market — best suited to first-time buyers or investors comfortable with a cosmetic/modernisation project.
