This purpose-built ground-floor flat offers a compact, practical home in central Hereford — ideal for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking low-entry costs. The open-plan living/kitchen creates a light, flexible living space and the property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC C rating. Being offered chain free makes the purchase straightforward.
Accommodation is modest at approximately 442 sq ft across two bedrooms and a bathroom, so it suits buyers seeking a city-base or rental investment rather than large-family living. The lease is long (125 years) and the reported annual service charge is low, helping keep ongoing costs predictable. Council tax falls in Band A, which is very inexpensive for the area.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the neighbourhood records very high crime and is classified as an area of deprivation, which may affect living experience and rental demand. The property footprint is small with no private garden shown and the flat sits at street level, which may suit some but not others. Broadband speeds are average.
An internal inspection is recommended to judge condition and layout for your needs. For a first-time buyer prioritising central location and low upfront cost, or an investor looking for a straightforward, chain-free purchase with long lease and modest service charges, this flat is worth viewing — while being realistic about neighbourhood factors and limited internal space.
