Set on the fourth floor of a converted warehouse in Gloucester Docks, this two-bedroom apartment delivers authentic character and striking waterside views. Exposed brickwork, timber beams and large industrial windows create a bright, characterful living space with an open-plan kitchen/living area and Juliet balcony overlooking the main basin and May Hill.
Practical features include allocated secure parking, basement storage and a long lease (approximately 167 years remaining). The property is offered chain-free and shows strong rental potential (estimated £1,200pcm), making it suitable for first-time buyers seeking a distinctive home or investors targeting reliable demand in a popular dockside location.
Buyers should note the material running costs and services: an annual service charge of about £3,180 covers building maintenance and Docks Service Charge, and heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating. There is no private garden and the location has a medium flood risk — both relevant when considering insurance and future maintenance.
Overall, the apartment pairs urban waterside charm with practical benefits like parking and storage. For those wanting a low-maintenance city pied-à-terre or a lettable two-bed in a sought-after dockland setting, this property is worth a viewing, but budget for service charges, electric heating costs and flood-related considerations.
