This first-floor retirement apartment, completed in 2020, offers two double bedrooms, a separate cloakroom and a walk-in shower room across approximately 777 sq ft of well-presented living space. Both bedrooms and the living area enjoy pleasant views towards Llanthony Secunda Priory and the communal grounds. The property is chain free and comes with an allocated off-street parking space.
The development provides 24-hour staffing, a residents’ lounge, subsidised bistro, mobility storage, laundry room and guest suite (bookable). The annual service charge covers staffing, an hour of weekly domestic assistance, exterior window-cleaning, water rates, emergency call system, buildings insurance and communal upkeep — convenient for buyers wanting low-maintenance living and a sense of community.
Important cost and maintenance facts are set out plainly: the annual service charge is high at £12,763.44 and ground rent is £510 per year (review due June 2034). Heating is electric (room heaters) rather than gas, and the property sits in an area with a medium flood risk—factors to consider for running costs and insurance. The lease is effectively long (999 years from 2020) and there are five years remaining on the NHBC warranty.
Located close to Gloucester Quays, the docks and local shops including Sainsbury’s, this apartment suits over-70s seeking a secure, low-maintenance base with communal amenities and nearby town facilities.
