A first-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat in Hucclecote Lodge offering simple, low-maintenance living for over-60s. The flat has a bright sitting room, modern kitchen, spacious bedroom and a bathroom, with pleasant rear views over well-kept communal gardens and a pond. There is no onward chain, making it straightforward to buy.
The development is well-served by a number 10 bus stop right outside, plus visitors’ parking and visitor accommodation on-site. Residents benefit from a communal lounge, attractive gardens and easy access to Gloucester and Cheltenham. Off-street parking and very low local crime add practical reassurance.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 58 years remaining. Some mortgage lenders may be unable to lend against shorter leases, so buyers should check finance options early. Annual costs include an average service charge of £1,450 and a £50 ground rent. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, though mobile signal is excellent.
This is a compact retirement home suited to someone wanting a sensible, low-upkeep base with communal facilities and good local transport. It’s particularly appropriate for downsizers or those seeking retirement community living close to local amenities, provided they understand the lease and running costs.
