Set on the third floor of the popular Barge Arm development, this newly redecorated one-bedroom apartment offers bright, open-plan living with waterside views across the Victoria basin and a distant vista of Gloucester Cathedral. The layout is practical: generous living/dining space opening to a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a double bedroom overlooking the basin and a modern bathroom with shower-over-bath. The apartment is offered chain-free and ready to occupy.
Practical ownership features add appeal: a secure allocated parking space within the gated complex, keyless fob access, an EPC rating of C76 and a long lease (approximately 168 years remaining). The building is part of the managed docks estate; the annual service charge (approx. £2,050) includes the Docks Service Charge which covers security, CCTV and estate maintenance. Gloucester Quays, shops and transport links are within easy walking distance, including regular bus services and the train station about 1.5 miles away.
This property suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance city-base by the water — either a first home or an investment. Forecast rental income of about £850 pcm provides a realistic let option, though purchasers should factor management and service charges into yield calculations. Note the property is in a medium flood-risk area and is leasehold; interested buyers should satisfy themselves on flood cover and lease terms.
Overall, the flat combines a prime historic-dockside location, secure parking and move-in condition, balanced by ongoing estate charges and location-specific considerations. The apartment’s compact but well-planned accommodation and waterside outlook make it an attractive proposition for single buyers or buy-to-let investors.
