Compact, characterful city-centre flat with long lease and no onward chain.
Chain-free Grade II listed one-bedroom first-floor apartment
A compact, Grade II listed one-bedroom first-floor apartment in the heart of Cheltenham, offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN. The open-plan living/dining room and separate bedroom make efficient use of 333 sq ft, ideal for a single occupant or couple seeking central town living or a buy-to-let opportunity. Gas central heating and a long lease (approximately 965 years) provide practical ownership benefits.
The location is the apartment’s strongest asset: moments from the High Street with shops, restaurants, transport links and fast broadband. Excellent mobile signal and proximity to top schools (including Pate's Grammar and independent options) make it convenient for professionals and students. Service charge and ground rent are modest; council tax is very low.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will limit external and internal alterations and may complicate upgrades, particularly insulation — the building has solid brick walls. The property is small and will need cosmetic updating in places. The local area records very high crime levels; prospective purchasers should investigate neighbourhood safety and insurance implications.
Overall this is a compact, characterful city-centre apartment that suits a first-time buyer wanting a central base or an investor seeking a low-entry rental in Cheltenham. The chain-free sale and extremely long lease are practical advantages, balanced against listed-building restrictions and the need for some updating.
