This well-presented two-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a period building in the heart of Worcester, moments from Foregate Street station and central amenities. The layout is compact but efficient: an open-plan kitchen/lounge, two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom make it straightforward to live in or let. High lounge ceilings add a sense of space despite the overall small footprint.
The flat is offered as a leasehold with 116 years remaining, a modest service charge (£300) and an above-average ground rent (£1,100). Heating is by electric room heaters and electricity is the main fuel — a practical solution for a city-centre property but one that may mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes.
For buy-to-let purchasers the expected rental yield (~7.6%) and excellent transport links are strong positives. First-time buyers will appreciate the manageable size, integrated kitchen appliances and low council tax, though the property suits those who want city living rather than large family accommodation. Be aware the immediate area has high crime statistics and notable deprivation, which is an important consideration for owner-occupiers and investors alike.
Overall this is a straightforward, contemporary apartment with clear short-term income potential and minimal refurbishment needs internally. Buyers should factor in the expensive ground rent and electric heating when assessing long-term costs and resale prospects.
