Bright, characterful fifth-floor flat near shops and transport.
Panoramic dock views from a 16ft balcony
This fifth-floor apartment in Gloucester Docks offers bright, open-plan living with a rare 16ft balcony and panoramic dock views — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an urban home with outdoor space. The converted-warehouse setting brings high ceilings, exposed brick character and generous rooms within a 687 sq ft layout. French doors connect the principal living area to the balcony, extending living space and showcasing the waterfront aspect.
Practical features include an allocated off-street parking space, lift access, double glazing and electric heating. The flat sits within a purpose-built block from the late 1990s/early 2000s and benefits from convenient on-site amenities: cafés, restaurants, shops and good public transport links right on the doorstep.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold (very long lease c.975 years) with an average service charge of around £2,750 per year and council tax described as cheap. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may mean higher running costs. The local area records higher crime levels and significant deprivation; the setting is a busy, mixed-use dockside with associated noise and activity at times.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful city-centre flat suited to a single occupant or couple wanting convenient, low-maintenance urban living with impressive views. Factor in service charges, electric heating costs and the active dockside environment when deciding if the location and layout match your needs.
