Set directly opposite Pitchcroft Racecourse and a short walk from Worcester city centre, this Grade II Listed townhouse offers commanding period presence across four floors. Original features — sash windows, fireplaces, picture rails and high ceilings — are retained throughout, giving flexible family accommodation with five bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms across c.1,826 sq ft. A low‑maintenance courtyard and a small front garden sit alongside off‑street parking for two cars.
The layout suits families or professionals who value character: a snug and lounge provide separate living spaces, while the dining room and cottage-style kitchen lie together on the lower level. Bedrooms are arranged over the upper floors, with a main bedroom with built-in wardrobes, further double rooms and a top-floor space ideal as a guest room, study or teenager’s retreat. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, useful for home working.
Important practical points are clear: listed status means alterations will be restricted and may require specialist consent; the property is freehold but could present extra cost and time for any structural or external changes. There is a medium flood risk, and the local area records higher crime and some deprivation — factors buyers should consider. The kitchen has a low ceiling and the plot is small, so outdoor space is limited compared with modern family homes.
This house will appeal to a buyer who prizes historic character, central location and flexible space, and who is comfortable managing the constraints of a listed property in an urban setting. A professional survey and heritage/insurance checks are advised before proceeding.
