A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Gloucester City Centre, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The open-plan kitchen/living room and double bedroom with built-in wardrobe suit a single occupant or couple seeking central living close to Gloucester Royal Hospital and local amenities.
Practical strengths include a long lease (104 years remaining), low ground rent (£50 annually), residential permit parking, double glazing and easy access to buses, shops and nearby schools. Council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs. The flat’s modern block and modest running costs make it a sensible low-entry option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors targeting city-centre demand.
Be upfront about limitations: the apartment is small (about 401 sq ft), heated by electric room heaters rather than a central system, and broadband speeds are average. The surrounding area scores high for deprivation and recorded crime levels are very high; this will affect desirability and rental premiums. On-site parking is by permit only and spaces are first-come, first-served.
Overall, this is a practical, low-maintenance city-centre flat that delivers affordability and convenience in exchange for compact living space and a less favourable local social profile. It suits buyers prioritising central location, low upfront cost and a straightforward lease over size or upgraded heating and neighbourhood quiet.
