This one-bedroom apartment occupies one of the largest units in Bridgewater House, offered chain-free and with allocated off-street parking. The open-plan kitchen/lounge has a modern fitted kitchen and generous glazing that brings in natural light. With 115 years remaining on the lease and a realistic rental yield quoted at around 9.5%, it suits first-time buyers wanting a starter home or investors seeking a lettable city-centre unit.
Be factual about running costs: heating is by electric room heaters and the property is powered by electricity, which can be more expensive than gas. The annual service charge is relatively high at £3,240 and ground rent is £250, both material costs to factor into affordability or yield calculations. The wider area is described as deprived with industrious hardship and a hampered neighbourhood classification, and local amenities are predominantly retail and light industrial; crime levels are average.
Internally the apartment is in modern condition with contemporary finishes, a fitted bathroom and built-in kitchen appliances. Room sizes are compact but the layout feels open thanks to the integrated kitchen-lounge. Transport links are good, with a regular bus route into Worcester city centre, and local convenience and retail outlets close by.
This property offers clear potential: a straightforward, chain-free purchase with immediate rental prospects or an affordable entry into homeownership. Buyers should budget for ongoing service-charge and electric-heating costs and be comfortable buying in a more deprived, mixed-use area.
