Set in a picturesque Victorian crescent just a short walk from Great Malvern’s shops and transport links, this lower-ground one-bedroom apartment offers spacious period rooms and private outdoor space. Its sizable rooms and high ceilings give a sense of scale rare for a one-bedroom, making it a comfortable first home or buy-to-let. The long lease (999 years) and one-third share of the freehold provide tenure security unusual for a flat of this age.
The apartment combines character features—sash windows, hardwood floors and a fireplace—with a modern fitted kitchen and mains-gas boiler serving radiators. Outside there’s a front patio for alfresco dining and a rear passage with a lockable storage cupboard that houses the boiler and provides utility space. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for home working.
Buyers should be aware this is a lower-ground flat in a solid-brick Victorian building with assumed lack of cavity insulation. The EPC is rated D and walls are likely uninsulated, so heating bills may be higher than modern equivalents. The property is in a very affluent area but local crime levels are reported as high, which may concern some purchasers. Any communal maintenance is shared as-and-when, so occasional contributions may be required.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a period property with generous proportions, strong location and long lease. It offers straightforward cosmetic potential and practical benefits such as cheap council tax and no flood risk, while also requiring realistic expectations about energy efficiency and occasional communal costs.
