Built in the 1920s, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment combines period character with excellent city-centre proximity. High ceilings, a bay-fronted lounge and original floorboards give the flat charm and rental appeal. The layout includes a separate dining room, fitted kitchen, bathroom and cellar access, plus a private enclosed courtyard ideal for outside seating or storage.
Practical details suit investors and professionals: 149 years remain on the lease, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a below-average service contribution of £661.96pa (50% share of building insurance). Council tax is very low and there is no flood risk. The property sits within walking distance of Hereford station, hospital, colleges and city amenities — a location that attracts renters and single professionals.
This is a straightforward refurbishment opportunity rather than a turnkey home. Some internal finishes need modernising and the solid-brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so improving thermal efficiency will require investment. The surrounding area records higher crime levels than average, which should be considered for lettings and security measures.
Chain-free sale and compact scale make this appealing for a buy-to-let starter or a first home for a professional couple. Budget-conscious buyers can add value through targeted upgrades to heating, insulation and décor to increase rental income or resale value.
