Set on the first floor of a modern red-brick block in Longlevens, this compact one-bedroom flat is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or landlord. The open-plan living and kitchen area makes the most of the 356 sq ft, and a built-in wardrobe in the double bedroom adds useful storage. An allocated off-street parking space and access to a communal garden bring practical outdoor benefits.
The property is economical to run in council tax terms (Band A) but uses electric storage heating and an electric cooker; tenants or owners should expect higher heating costs than gas-heated homes. The bathroom retains its original 1980s fixtures and will suit someone happy with simple, functional fittings or willing to refurbish. The building is double-glazed and appears well maintained externally.
Financially the flat is straightforward: a very long lease (approx. 964 years), a below-average service charge of £840 pa (includes ground rent) and an EPC D. Flood risk is assessed as medium—buyers should check insurance and local guidance. With fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good local schools, the location suits single professionals, commuters and buy-to-let investors seeking a low-entry investment in a comfortable suburb.
Overall this is a small, practical flat that offers clear value for its price point but requires acceptance of electric heating and a dated bathroom. It’s best for buyers wanting a low-maintenance, entry-level home or an investor targeting steady rental demand in a very affordable part of Gloucester.
