This generously sized one-bedroom apartment sits within a converted Georgian townhouse in the heart of Gloucester, a short walk from bus and train links. High ceilings and tall sash windows give a strong sense of space; the principal living area is an open-plan kitchen-lounge with room for dining and entertaining.
The property is leasehold with 131 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,234 and a small ground rent of £150 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building’s original sandstone walls are likely uninsulated; the flat is best suited to buyers aware of potential running costs.
Located in a busy city-centre neighbourhood with wide amenity choice and excellent mobile signal, this apartment is well placed for commuting or letting. The area has high crime statistics and very high deprivation, which will interest buy-to-let investors to consider yield against management risk.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful one-bedroom offering clear potential for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to update the kitchen-living area and manage the property’s running costs and local area challenges.
