Set just off Bath Road in Leckhampton, this chain-free two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers an efficient, low-maintenance home for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor. The property sits in a modern period-style building and opens into an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space that maximises natural light through large double-glazed sash windows.
Practical running costs are modest: gas central heating from a combi boiler, double glazing, a long lease (990 years) and low annual charges (service charge £600; ground rent £60). The compact 499 sq ft layout is arranged over three principal rooms, with a modern shower room and fitted kitchen appliances including fridge, freezer and dishwasher.
Important considerations: the apartment is small and better suited to single occupants, couples or as a rental, rather than a family needing extensive space. Parking is on-street only, and the property is leasehold (although the lease length makes this a minor issue). Council tax is very low and broadband speeds are fast, supporting home working.
Leckhampton retains a village feel with cafés, shops and eateries close by on Bath Road, while several well-regarded schools and amenities are within easy reach. Overall this is a sensible, low-hassle purchase for someone seeking an entry into the Cheltenham market or a straightforward rental opportunity.
