Set on the top floor of a handsome period building, this chain-free one-bedroom flat offers a bright, well-proportioned living room, separate kitchen and a good-sized double bedroom — all within 55 sq. m (EPC). Large double-glazed windows bring in natural light and the reception room presents a comfortable space for everyday living and entertaining.
Practical running costs are attractive: EPC C, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, a low service charge (c. £30/month / £360/year) and very cheap council tax. A very long lease remains (c. 966 years), giving long-term security for buyers. The location is a key draw — minutes from Cheltenham Road and Gloucester Road amenities, cafés and good links to the city centre.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly. The property sits in an area classified as very deprived with a very high local crime score, which will affect some buyers’ priorities and insurance costs. The building’s walls are original sandstone/limestone with no known insulation — this may limit thermal performance despite double glazing (installation date unknown) and could mean upgrade work for those seeking lower energy bills.
Overall, this flat is well suited to a first-time buyer or city-based professional who wants long-lease security, characterful period features and immediate central access. It offers straightforward, affordable occupancy but requires buyers to accept the wider neighbourhood challenges and consider potential insulation improvements.
