Summary - Westgate Street, Gloucester GL1 2PA
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
One-bedroom, gated retirement apartment with communal facilities and river views..
Over-55s retirement complex with 24-hour emergency careline
This one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Castlemeads Court offers secure, over-55s living with city-centre convenience and river views. The 520 sq ft layout includes a spacious lounge/diner, refitted shower room, built-in wardrobes and large storage/airing cupboard—practical features for easy daily living.
Communal facilities suit those seeking sociable, low-maintenance life: residents’ lounge, laundry room, guest suite and gated gardens. The building provides a 24-hour emergency careline for added peace of mind and good mobile and broadband connectivity for staying in touch with family.
There are material costs and considerations: this is a leasehold apartment with around 120 years remaining (the listing also cites a 125-year lease from 1998). Service charge is £2,631pa and ground rent £602pa. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC is rated D. The area records very high crime rates and is classified as very deprived, and the property has a medium flood risk—factors to weigh for safety and insurance.
This apartment will suit a downsizer who prioritises security, communal life and central access over a secluded setting. It offers straightforward move-in condition with scope to personalise; buyers should budget for ongoing service charges, higher ground rent and electric heating costs.
