This chain-free, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in GL1 offers a straightforward buy-to-let or first-time purchase opportunity close to Gloucester station and city amenities. The flat’s corner position and dual-aspect layout bring good natural light into the compact open-plan living/kitchen and bedroom. Allocated off-street parking and access to a large communal garden add practical tenant appeal.
The building is modern in style and the flat is let-ready in many respects, with a built-in wardrobe in the double bedroom and a contemporary bathroom suite. The long lease (approximately 972 years) and low service charge (£40) reduce holding costs and make mortgage-lending and future resale simpler for investors or owner-occupiers.
Buyers should note the apartment is small at about 356 sq ft and some internal updates are needed — the kitchen area requires new flooring and general cosmetic attention. Heating is via electric storage heaters, and the cavity walls are without insulation (as built), which may affect running costs and comfort compared with modern standards.
The surrounding area is convenient for transport links, hospital and local services, but crime levels are reported as very high; prospective buyers should consider insurance and tenant screening accordingly. Overall, this property suits investors seeking a low-maintenance rental asset or a first-time buyer wanting a compact, well-located home with scope for modest improvement.
