Summary - Flat 87, Castlemeads Court, 143 Westgate Street GL1 2PB
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Compact city-centre one-bedroom ideal for low‑maintenance urban living.
Over-55s development with lift access and communal facilities
A second-floor retirement apartment in the heart of Gloucester, offered with no onward chain. The one-bedroom layout includes a double bedroom, lounge-diner and separate kitchen within about 492 sq ft — practical living for someone looking to downsize while staying close to city amenities. Lift access, communal lounge, laundry room, communal gardens and off-street parking add convenience and low-maintenance communal living.
The building dates from the late 1990s and benefits from modern double glazing and an Energy Rating of B (86), which helps running costs. The flat uses electric storage heaters and has a cheap council tax band, but main fuel is electricity rather than a communal system.
Be aware of the service package and local risks: the lease has 97 years remaining, an average service charge of about £2,630 and a ground rent of £602. The property faces medium flood risk and is within a high-crime area — both important factors for insurance and personal security to assess.
This apartment suits an over-55 buyer seeking a city-centre, low-upkeep home with communal support and easy transport links. It also offers potential for cosmetic improvement — the living room shows wear and stained carpet — so buyers should budget for light redecoration if desired.
