This first-floor, purpose-built flat offers a compact, ready-to-move-in home in a gated courtyard development close to Gloucester city centre and the historic Docks. The open-plan living area and fitted kitchen make the most of the modest 560 sqft, while two bedrooms both include built-in wardrobes. Recent double glazing and well-kept communal areas reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, communal gardens, and a safe-entry gated setting. Constructed in the early 2000s, the block has cavity walls and modern construction standards. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs for a buyer on a tight budget.
Important points to note: the property is leasehold, so buyers should check remaining term and any service charges. Heating is by electric storage heaters which can be costly compared with gas alternatives. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow. The wider area records higher crime rates and local deprivation indicators, so suitability will depend on buyer priorities.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a compact city-base with parking and low immediate upkeep. It presents straightforward potential for cosmetic improvement and rental use, but survey and lease checks are recommended before commitment.
