It follows reports of anti-social behaviour and drug use at the house.
Gloucester Neighbourhood Policing Team secured the order with support from Solace.
The order prevents anyone other than the current occupant from entering the property. Anybody who does enter faces being arrested.
Sergeant Martyn Murawa, from Gloucester Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "This closure order has been put in place as a way for us to protect a vulnerable member of the community from being exploited.
“We believe that everyone has a right to feel safe in their own home and we hope this sends the message to those who would prey upon others’ vulnerabilities that we will take action in order to protect them.”
Solace Officer Matt Roberts said: “This closure order offers the resident of the property protection and relief from those who would take advantage of others. Hopefully this breathing room will help them to enjoy a measure of respite over the Christmas period.”
