Chain-free one-bedroom apartment with long lease (c.243 years)
Set within a converted iconic building on Hereford’s Commercial Street, this chain-free one-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance city-centre living with a long lease (c.243 years). The open-plan layout and generous double bedroom suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking straightforward accommodation ready to occupy or rent. Practical extras include a basement storage unit, air conditioning and triple glazing with secondary units to reduce street noise.
The flat was part of a 2019 conversion and presents clean, neutral finishes throughout: a modern fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom and good natural light to the living area. Broadband is available and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming. Council Tax Band A and the absence of flood risk are additional practical benefits.
Notable costs and local factors are set out plainly. The property is leasehold with ground rent of £225 pa and a service charge shown as c.£137 pcm (an alternative figure of £2,724 pa is also referenced), so confirm current service-charge accounting before proceeding. Heating is electric (room heaters) which can be more expensive than gas; energy rating is D (57). The immediate area is a busy city-centre neighbourhood with a high crime statistic and limited private outdoor space.
For a buyer prioritising location, low-upkeep living and long lease security, this apartment presents genuine value. Those sensitive to running costs, neighbourhood crime levels or who need outdoor space should weigh these factors carefully before viewing.
