Summary - Park End Road, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL1 GL1 5AN
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright open-plan living close to schools and shops, ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain free two-bedroom first-floor apartment
This chain-free two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits a short walk from Gloucester city centre, local parks, shops and several well-rated schools. The open-plan living/kitchen area feels bright and contemporary, and a basement storage room adds practical space. It presents a straightforward entry for first-time buyers or a buy-to-let investor seeking rental demand close to transport and amenities.
The flat benefits from gas central heating, double glazing throughout and a below-average service charge of £420. At about 631 sq ft the layout is comfortably sized for a starter home and the long lease (980 years remaining) removes immediate lease-extension costs.
Buyers should note material local issues: the area records very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which will affect long-term desirability and rental premiums. Flooding risk is medium, so insurance and flood-prevention measures should be checked before purchase. The building was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s and cavity walls are likely uninsulated, so expect potential energy-efficiency improvements and associated costs.
Overall this property offers affordable city-centre access and practical living space for a buyer prepared to accept neighbourhood challenges. Its chain-free status and low service charge make it an easy purchase; however, factor in local safety, flood considerations and possible insulation or glazing upgrades when assessing running costs and resale potential.
