Set within Stratton Court Village — an age-exclusive development on Cirencester’s fringe — this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers comfortable, low-effort living for downsizers. The open-plan kitchen/living/dining room opens via French doors to a private terrace, creating a pleasant indoor/outdoor flow and easy access to the landscaped courtyard and on-site Kensington Café.
Accommodation is well laid out for over-65s living: a principal bedroom with French windows onto the terrace, a second bedroom that works well as a guest room or hobby space, and an ensuite bathroom. Built to modern standards (EPC B 83), the home includes a secure entry system, large storage and a utility cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: this is a leasehold property with about 115 years remaining, subject to a significant service charge of £750 pcm (c. £9,000 pa) which covers communal facilities, grounds and buildings insurance, plus a ground rent of £505 pa. Secure underground parking is available at additional cost and subject to availability; broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. Heating is provided by a community scheme — efficient but managed centrally.
For someone seeking a low-maintenance, sociable retirement setting close to Cirencester’s amenities yet sheltered within a contemporary, landscaped development, this apartment is a strong contender. The property is offered chain-free, ready for immediate occupation or to adapt to personal tastes.
