Set on the first floor of a modern purpose-built block, this two-double-bedroom apartment is well placed for anyone wanting immediate access to Gloucester city centre and Gloucester Quays. The layout is efficient: an open lounge/diner, separate fitted kitchen, principal bedroom with en-suite, second double bedroom and a balcony that overlooks the communal forecourt. An allocated off-street parking space and secure communal entry add practical convenience.
The flat is sold with no onward chain and is suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance home close to shops, cafés and transport links. Recent-style construction, double glazing and mains gas central heating mean the property is comfortable and straightforward to run. At about 634 sq ft, room sizes are modest but appropriate for apartment living.
There are important factors to note: the local area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, and the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone. The home is leasehold (approx. 107–110 years remaining is quoted), with an annual service charge around £1,271 and ground rent of £225 per year. Broadband speeds are average.
Taken together, the flat offers an economical city-base with parking and balcony, good for a first home or buy-to-let, provided you accept the area-wide issues and the ongoing leasehold costs.
