Chain-free one-bedroom flat with rooftop terrace and long lease in central Cheltenham.
Chain-free one-bedroom flat, 402 sq ft
A compact, chain-free one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Cheltenham, ideal for first-time buyers or investors seeking easy city living. The open-plan layout and large patio doors fill the 402 sq ft space with light and give direct access to a wrap-around rooftop terrace with town views. The lease is long (113 years) and the property is ready to occupy or let without delay.
Practical running costs include an average service charge of £1,750 per year and a small ground rent of £250. Heating is electric via room heaters, so buyers should expect higher running costs than gas-heated properties. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent. The building is modern (constructed 2007–2011) with double glazing throughout.
Notable drawbacks are the apartment’s limited floor area and a rooftop terrace that currently needs maintenance. The immediate area records above-average crime, which may concern some buyers or affect lettability. Overall, this is a straightforward, low-hassle purchase with good lease terms and immediate access to Cheltenham’s amenities and transport links.
