Set right in Worcester city centre, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers an accessible, low-maintenance home with no onward chain. The flat sits in a modern block with gated allocated parking and a small communal garden — practical assets for first-time buyers or buy-to-let prospects. With about 974 years remaining on the lease and low ground rent, long-term security is a clear plus.
The accommodation includes a bright lounge, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a boiler serviced in 2024. The apartment is habitable but needs cosmetic updating and some renovation to reach its full potential — an opportunity to add value rather than a structural emergency.
Practical running costs include a service charge around £1,980 per year (circa £495 quarterly) and a small ground rent of £75 per year; council tax band is low. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for working from home. Estimated rental income is approximately £850–£950 pcm, making it a clear option for investors.
Buyers should note the local context: the wider area is classified as very deprived with a very high crime rate, and some nearby schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes. These factors may affect long-term resale and rental demand for certain buyers. Overall, this is a convenient, chain-free city-centre flat suited to buyers willing to carry out light refurbishment to benefit from the location and leasehold security.
