This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits within the converted stone Old School building at St Matthews Court, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The layout is compact and practical: entrance, sitting/dining room with access to the communal gardens, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and shower room. Allocated off-street parking for one car and on-site mobility scooter charging add everyday convenience.
St Matthews Court is a purpose-designed retirement complex with on-site daytime management, a communal lounge, guest suites, laundry and well-maintained communal grounds. The building’s period character — stone walls and arched windows — gives the flat attractive kerb appeal while the apartment’s neutral presentation reduces immediate maintenance for a new owner.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold retirement apartment with 88 years remaining and a small annual ground rent of £100. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the original stone walls are likely uninsulated, which can affect running costs. The area records higher local crime levels, so the secured communal complex is a key advantage.
Overall this modest, low‑maintenance flat will suit a downsizer or an investor seeking a lock-up-and-leave retirement property close to Stroud’s amenities. It offers convenience, communal support and period character, balanced by leasehold status and potentially higher heating costs due to electric storage heating and solid stone walls.
