Long 987-year lease, 1/5 share of freehold

A freshly renovated one-bedroom lower-ground apartment set within a striking Victorian building on Abbey Road, Malvern. The flat offers generous room proportions for its size, a large living room with bay-style windows and far-reaching views over well-kept communal gardens, and a spacious double bedroom with a rear outlook — a comfortable home or lock-up-and-leave for a couple or first-time buyer.
Practical features include a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, an internal vaulted storeroom, double glazing (installed post-2002) and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. There is one allocated parking space on the communal driveway and easy walking access to Great Malvern’s shops, restaurants and theatre. Full fibre broadband is available and the property sits in a low-crime, affluent area with good local schools.
Leasehold details are strong: a long 987-year lease and a 1/5th share of the freehold through the management company. Service charges average £1,980 per year and the EPC is graded D. The building is stone-built Victorian with assumed uninsulated granite walls — characterful but potentially less energy-efficient than modern construction.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking character, generous rooms and low-maintenance outdoor space. Renovation work has been completed, but buyers concerned about running costs should note the EPC D, historic stone walls (likely limited insulation) and the annual service charge when assessing value.
