Bright, low-maintenance second-floor apartment in a well-regarded over‑55 sheltered development in central Tewkesbury. The long 961‑year lease and chain‑free sale make this a straightforward purchase for a downsizer seeking convenience and community. Communal facilities include a manager, lounge, conservatory, gardens, lift and off‑street parking.
The one-bedroom layout (approx. 485 sqft) offers a combined lounge/dining room, kitchen, fitted-bedroom wardrobes and a shower room. The flat has double glazing and night storage heaters; residents will want to budget for electric heating costs which can be higher than gas alternatives. Service charges are £284.75 pcm (about £3,417 pa) covering communal upkeep and facilities.
Practical benefits include lift access to the second floor, in‑flat emergency call system and well-maintained communal gardens for socialising or quiet relaxation. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent, useful for staying connected locally. Council tax is low, and the apartment is close to shops, healthcare and public transport.
Notable concerns are factual: the development is in an area with a very high recorded crime rate, and heating is solely electric night storage which may mean higher energy bills. Prospective buyers should also consider the monthly service charge when assessing affordability. Otherwise this flat is move‑in ready and suits buyers seeking community living and town‑centre convenience.
