Cleeve Lake Court, Bishops Cleeve, Cheltenham, GL52

Cleeve Lake Court is a managed retirement complex of 36 properties for the over 55’s only, all but two of which are houses of 2 and 3 bedrooms.

The complex was designed and built in 1991 over land, on two sides of a lake. The lake and jetty are part of the features for the residents of this desirable complex.

Each property has some form of allocated parking or a garage, this home having a garage in the adjacent block with communal supply power. The complex is gated, and has a manager assigned to it who visits regularly.  Residents are able to contact the manager regarding any queries about the properties and grounds, when available.

All properties are fitted with alarm pulls, that may be used to summon emergency help. These are connected to the Appello emergency call centre.  

In addition to the above features there are water points for washing your car, bin store areas and attractive communal gardens.  There is also communal/resident parking. The property is managed freehold, and there is an annual service charge. This year the service charge is £3,177.

This property and its environment are very much a lifestyle purchase. The location of this one is second to none, directly adjacent to the lake with lakeside views from front and side windows providing an unequalled view of the birds, ducks and other wildlife all year round.   There is even a glimpse up to Cleeve Hill to the left.

Inside, the property would benefit from some modernisation and the property is very much priced to reflect this. It offers a ground floor shower room/cloakroom off the hall, leading into a front to back lounge diner with a big bay window to maximise that view. The kitchen is at the rear and, some years ago, a small conservatory was added on the back. There is a low maintenance courtyard garden with access for the gardener and window cleaners across the back. 

Upstairs there are three bedrooms in total.  Bedrooms one and two are both doubles with built-in wardrobes, the master with that view again, and the third is a good single with that great view, which could be used as an office/study. To the rear is a bathroom, all present but would benefit from modernisation.

This property is in a superb location, just a six-minute, 0.3 mile walk to Stoke Road surgery, and a nine-minute, 0.4 mile walk into Church Road shops in the village with its wide range of small stores, eateries and Tesco’s. Its location in the complex is excellent and will suit someone who wants to make their own home and create their perfect retirement property. Call now to arrange your accompanied viewing.
