Characterful city-centre one-bed with solid rental potential and fast broadband.
Second-floor one-bedroom in Worcester city centre
Set on the second floor of a traditional Georgian building on Foregate Street, this one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, well-laid-out city-centre home or buy-to-let opportunity. The open-plan living/dining area with a kitchen zone and a generous four-piece bathroom maximise usable space, while period features such as sash windows and a feature fireplace add character. The property benefits from an EPC C and fast fibre broadband — useful for commuters and students.
Positioned within walking distance of Foregate Street station, shops, bars and university facilities, the flat suits investors targeting the student and young professional market as well as first-time buyers seeking central convenience. Projected rental income around £700–750pcm suggests reasonable yield against the £115,000 asking price; service charge and council costs should be factored into calculations.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with c.107 years remaining, ground rent of £125pa and an average service charge of £583.82 per quarter. There is no allocated parking and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks wall insulation, which may affect heating efficiency. The area records very high crime levels, so purchasers should consider security and insurance implications.
Overall this is a well-located, characterful city-centre flat with clear rental appeal and some predictable urban compromises. It will suit an investor seeking steady tenancy demand or a first-time buyer prioritising central access and period charm, provided they budget for service charges and potential improvements.
