This duplex apartment offers a practical city-centre base just a short walk from Worcester city centre and Shrub Hill station. Set over two floors, the layout provides a sitting room, a spacious kitchen/diner and two double bedrooms — a flexible home suitable for first-time buyers wanting room to grow.
The building is mid-20th-century brick with double glazing and electric heating throughout. The long lease (172 years) and a below-average annual service charge (£700) reduce immediate ownership costs; communal gardens and off-street parking add useful outside space in a central location.
Be realistic about running costs and the location: heating is electric room heaters and the area records very high crime and higher levels of deprivation. The property will suit buyers prioritising central convenience and affordability rather than a low-maintenance, high-spec finish. For investors, nearby rental demand and a previously-cited rental estimate suggest potential income, but factor in local market conditions and management considerations.
Overall this is an affordable, chain-free duplex with decent space and a long lease, best for buyers seeking a central starter home or a straightforward buy-to-let with scope for upgrading.
