This well-presented two-bedroom retirement flat in Castlemeads Court offers low-maintenance living in central Gloucester. At about 775 sq ft the flat features an entrance hallway with storage, an open-plan living and dining area with a Juliet balcony, a fitted kitchen and a modern bathroom with shower. Both bedrooms have views; the larger bedroom includes a mirrored built-in wardrobe. Communal lift and staircase access make the first-floor location convenient for less mobile residents.
The development is restricted to residents aged 55 and above and sits a short walk from Gloucester Cathedral, pedestrianised Westgate Street shops and the historic docks. The apartment’s electric storage heating and double glazing (installed before 2002) suit a city-centre retirement lifestyle but may feel dated to buyers seeking contemporary heating systems. Pets are allowed on application, adding flexibility for animal owners.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with 97 years remaining and carries a higher-than-average service charge (£4,497). There is a medium flood risk for the area and crime levels are recorded as very high locally, which may affect security perceptions and insurance. Council tax is described as affordable. This property is best for downsizers or retirees prioritising central location, communal facilities and low-maintenance living, and who accept the service charge and local area considerations.
