Top-floor one-bedroom apartment, compact 354 sq ft layout
This top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Woodford Court offers low-maintenance, newly renovated living with immediate rental or move-in potential. The open-plan lounge and kitchen, re-fitted bathroom and double bedroom make efficient use of the compact 354 sq ft layout. Allocated parking in a gated development and communal gardens add practical benefits for residents.
The property is heated by electric room heaters and uses electric as the main fuel — a straightforward system but one that may produce higher running costs compared with gas. It is leasehold with a notable ground rent of £800, an important ongoing cost for buyers to budget for. Council tax is very cheap, and the site has low flood risk and fast broadband, supporting both renters and home workers.
Located on the edge of Gloucester city centre, the apartment has good road links and local amenities nearby, including shops, cafes and frequent buses. The neighbourhood has an above-average crime rate and pockets of deprivation, which may affect suitability for some buyers or investors. Potential rental income is approximately £800 pcm, making this attractive to investors seeking a low-upkeep property in a city setting.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer looking for an affordable city base or an investor wanting a ready-to-rent unit. Buyers should note the small overall size, electric heating, and higher ground rent when assessing long-term running costs and resale value.
