Compact city-centre one-bedroom with private entrance — ideal first home or investor project..
Private entrance and open-plan living/kitchen area
Very central: steps from Worcester Bridge and River Severn
Compact size ~334 sq ft — economical but snug
Leasehold with 989 years remaining (very long lease)
Off-street parking available
Electric room heaters; no central heating and likely poor insulation
Medium flood risk for the area; factor into insurance costs
Area records very high crime — consider security and safety measures
Set in the heart of Worcester, this compact one-bedroom apartment offers immediate access to city-centre life — River Severn walks, the Cathedral, Crowngate shopping and multiple cafés and restaurants are all a short stroll away. The apartment has its own private entrance, open-plan living/kitchen and off-street parking, making it a convenient first home or investment close to transport links and local amenities.
The flat is small (approximately 334 sq ft) and sits within a Victorian mid-terrace building constructed before 1900, so buyers should expect period quirks and a straightforward refurbishment to personalise the space. Heating is electric (room heaters) and walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation; upgrading heating and insulation would improve comfort and running costs. Council Tax is low (Band A), and the lease is long (989 years).
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold and will be sold at auction via secure online bidding — interested buyers should note the auction terms and be prepared to proceed quickly if successful. The area records very high crime and a medium flood risk; these are important factors for both residents and landlords to assess for insurance and safety planning.
For first-time buyers and investors the appeal is the location, long lease and compact size that lowers purchase price and running costs. For renovators there’s clear potential to add value through insulation, heating upgrades and cosmetic refurbishment. Viewings or inspection prior to bidding are recommended to confirm condition and required work.
