This one-bedroom retirement apartment in Homeberry House offers a low-maintenance, move-in-ready home in central Cirencester. Recently refurbished with a modern kitchen, new bathroom, updated windows and new flooring, the flat is configured efficiently across about 442 sq ft, ideal for a single occupant or couple seeking compact independent living. The development includes a residents’ lounge, laundry, on-site manager (Mon–Fri) and a 24-hour emergency call system.
The apartment overlooks well-kept communal gardens and benefits from residents’ and visitor parking, a lift and double glazing. Electric storage heaters provide heating; mains electricity is the main fuel source. The overall finish is contemporary and neutral, so the home is ready to occupy without immediate works.
Important practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with 56 years remaining (99-year original term from 1983). This relatively short lease is material — many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend and this will affect saleability and future value. Service charge and ground rent are payable: service charge approx. £2,297.62 and ground rent £213.53 per year (paid half-yearly). Electric heating and a higher local crime rate are also factors to weigh.
Overall this apartment is a comfortable, low-upkeep retirement option in a central, affluent town location, suited to downsizers who can purchase cash or confirm mortgage availability despite the lease length. Prospective buyers should seek specialist legal and mortgage advice about lease implications before committing.
