A roomy one-bedroom second-floor flat offering 573 sq ft of living space in central Gloucester. The layout includes a generous lounge-diner, separate kitchen, large double bedroom and family bathroom, plus a ground-floor storage outbuilding and an allocated off-street parking space — useful extras for city living.
The location is a key selling point: immediate access to Gloucester Train Station, bus links, Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and a mix of shops, pubs and eateries. Nearby schools include an Outstanding primary and a top-10% state secondary, making the area practical for a wide range of buyers or renters.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with 82 years remaining — this is below the level many lenders prefer and will need renewing soon. The wider area records very high crime and very high deprivation statistics, which may affect resale values and tenant demand. Service charge and ground rent are low (£801.50 and £10 p.a.), and council tax is very cheap.
This flat suits a cash-ready first-time buyer or investor prepared to address the short lease and the neighbourhood challenges. It offers immediate occupancy and rental potential but requires prompt action on the lease and realistic expectations about the local area.
