Summary - CATHEDRAL COURT FLAT 33 LONDON ROAD GLOUCESTER GL1 3QE
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Secure, low-maintenance two-bedroom retirement flat with lift and on-site support.
Third-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment, lift to all floors
This third-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment in Cathedral Court offers secure, low-maintenance living for over-60s in central Gloucester. The development, built by McCarthy & Stone in the 1990s, provides a lift, on-site Development Manager, 24-hour Appello emergency response and a residents' lounge and guest suite — practical features for independent older buyers.
The flat has a reception room with street-facing windows, a fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The property includes a garage for parking and double glazing; the footprint and room sizes are typical for retirement accommodation and easy to manage. The long lease (about 105–110 years remaining) gives tenure security for prospective buyers.
Notable charges and running costs are material: the service charge is £5,201.88 per year and ground rent £460.00. Heating is by electric storage heaters and broadband speeds are slow, which may affect utility costs and connectivity. The location is central and urban with no private garden, and the area records very high crime and considerable deprivation — important factors for safety-conscious buyers.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a convenient, community-focused retirement base with on-site support and minimal maintenance. It is less suitable for those seeking fast internet, a garden, lower communal charges or a quieter, low-crime neighbourhood.
