This top-floor, chain-free apartment offers practical city living with a long lease (972 years) and allocated off-street parking. At about 625 sq ft the layout includes an entrance hall, living room, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom — suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking immediate occupancy.
The building is a modern red-brick development with double glazing and communal rear garden. Gas central heating and boiler/radiator system provide straightforward, familiar heating. The property sits within easy walking distance of Worcester city centre, Foregate Street station and the canal, giving strong transport and amenity access.
Costs and local context are important: the service charge is approximately £2,236.56 per year and ground rent £75 annually. The surrounding neighbourhood records very high crime levels and is assessed as very deprived, which may affect resale values and tenant demand; buyers should weigh this against the long lease and central location.
This apartment is offered vacant with no onward chain, making a quick move possible. It suits anyone wanting a low-maintenance starter home or a city-centre rental, but prospective buyers should budget for service charges and consider local safety and letting market conditions when deciding to view.
