Located on the ground floor of a gated modern development on St Marys Street, this one-bedroom flat combines secure city-centre convenience with low-maintenance living. The open-plan kitchen and living area and a bright double bedroom both have French-style windows facing the courtyard, making the apartment light and airy. An allocated parking space, secure bike store and access to communal gardens add practical appeal.
This property suits buy-to-let investors or city professionals seeking easy access to Worcester’s stations, shops and universities. The long lease (989 years) removes a common leasehold concern, and Council Tax band C keeps local charges moderate. Note the property uses electric room heaters rather than central heating, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
Be aware of the service charge (approximately £2,473.16 per year) and the development’s above-average local crime statistics and wider area deprivation classification. These factors affect operating costs and tenant demand and should be considered when assessing net yields or living suitability.
Overall this is a practical, well-located one-bedroom with secure parking, communal green space and a modern interior that requires minimal immediate investment. It offers straightforward rental or downsizer potential for buyers prioritising location and low-maintenance city living.
