Profitable ground-floor Airbnb—investment with immediate income potential.
Chain-free small one-bedroom apartment, 436 sq ft
A compact ground-floor apartment in central Worcester currently operating as a profitable Airbnb with strong yield. The property offers immediate income potential for an investor or buy-to-let buyer seeking a low-entry purchase in WR1, and is being sold chain-free for a straightforward transaction.
The flat has period character with Georgian brickwork and high ceilings at the rear, private ground-floor access and a secure communal courtyard. At around 436 sq ft, accommodation includes a living room, double bedroom and a breakfast room — a practical layout for short-lets or a single occupant.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold; there is no central heating system fitted (electric heaters assumed) and the original solid brick walls lack insulation. The area records very high crime and is relatively deprived, which can affect lettings or long-term capital growth but may be offset by short-let demand from students and city travellers.
This is a clear investment proposition for someone comfortable managing a short-let or carrying out targeted improvements (insulation, heating upgrade) to broaden appeal. Proximity to Worcester city centre, the train station and the university supports occupancy, but budget for heating, potential refurbishment and management when assessing net returns.
