Set over two floors in the heart of Bewdley, this Grade II listed apartment blends period character with practical town-centre living. Exposed beams, a feature fireplace and solid oak worktops give real charm, while a bright open living/dining/kitchen provides everyday functionality for first-time buyers or downsizers.
Accommodation is compact but well arranged: two double bedrooms (one easily used as a home office or reception), a contemporary bathroom with Velux, and a useful ground-floor storeroom plus built-in cupboards. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and long leasehold security (996 years).
Be clear on constraints: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate some mortgage or renovation plans. The building’s solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs and cold spots are possible without cavity or internal insulation works. Ceilings are low in parts (attic and bathroom) which affects headroom and perceived space.
Locationally this is a true town-centre option — short walks to shops, cafés, transport and riverside attractions — and council tax is very cheap. However, local crime statistics are higher than average for the area, which some buyers may wish to investigate further. Overall this is a characterful, long-lease property for someone prioritising central convenience and period features over extensive internal space or overhaul potential.
