Tucked just off The Tything and a short walk from Worcester city centre, this compact first-floor apartment offers straightforward city living for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a low-entry purchase. The one-bedroom layout, fitted kitchen and shower room make it ready to occupy or let; the property is offered chain free which simplifies a quick move or resale.
Practical features include a long lease (962 years), communal gardens and an estimated rental income of around £750 pcm. Running costs are clear: electric heating with wall-mounted room heaters, no gas supply, and a monthly maintenance charge of approximately £100 (c. £1,200 pa). Council Tax band A keeps local charges low.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (circa 385 sq ft) and forms part of a dense urban area with above-average local crime statistics and an overall deprived classification for the wider area. The accommodation is compact with limited storage and uses electric heating throughout—factors to consider for comfort and bills.
For investors, the long lease and central location near amenities, schools and public transport are positives for lettability. For first-time buyers, the chain-free sale and modest asking price present an accessible city-base with scope to personalise. An internal viewing will best reveal the space and layout.
