This one-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in Gheluvelt Court offers compact, low-maintenance living next to Gheluvelt Park and riverside walks. The development, built by McCarthy & Stone, provides communal facilities suited to older residents: a residents’ lounge, guest suite, lift to all floors, communal laundry and a 24/7 emergency call system with a Development Manager on site.
The apartment is an average-sized open-plan one-bedroom of about 472 sq ft with double glazing and electric storage heating. The rear landscaped gardens, complete with a stream, create a pleasant outdoor space. Good local amenities are within walking distance, including shops, cafés, health services and frequent bus links into Worcester.
Practical costs and constraints are clear: leasehold with around 94 years remaining, an annual service charge of £3,612.06 and ground rent of £476.70. The building was constructed in the early 2000s and is well-served by security measures, including an entrance camera and emergency systems. The property is best suited to someone seeking a secure, community-focused retirement setting rather than extensive renovation potential.
Notes and cautions: the apartment shows some dated interior finishes and will suit buyers happy to refresh décor rather than undertake major works. There is a medium flood risk in the area and local crime levels are above average—factors to weigh alongside the strong local amenities and on-site support.
