This first-floor retirement apartment occupies a corner position in Home Nash House, a purpose-built block close to Worcester city centre. The dual-aspect lounge and double bedroom bring good natural light, and residents benefit from communal gardens, a lounge/conservatory, on-site laundry and lift access to all floors. Offered chain-free at £50,000 with an EPC rating of C, it suits buyers aged 60+ seeking a low-maintenance city-base or a buy-to-let for the older market.
Practical points are straightforward: the lease has around 88 years remaining, with an annual service charge of approximately £3,772 and ground rent of £439.30. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the flat is modest in size (about 336 sq ft), so running costs and space should be considered. The interior shows dated fittings and décor, so buyers wanting a more contemporary finish should budget for cosmetic updating.
External and communal facilities are strong selling points — well-kept gardens, residents’ parking and easy walking access to Foregate Street station, shops, medical services and local amenities in Barbourne. The building has a manager’s office and communal lounge which add convenience and social space for residents.
Overall this property offers affordable access to central Worcester in a retirement-focused development. It will appeal to downsizers and investors targeting the over-60s market who prioritise location, communal facilities and low-stairs living; buyers should factor in service charges, remaining lease length and potential modernisation costs.
