This bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits on a canal-side development within easy walking distance of Kidderminster town centre and Tesco. The layout includes an open kitchen-diner, separate lounge with double doors to a balcony, two double bedrooms and a bathroom — well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance, waterside home.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space with visitor bays, a long lease (975 years), and no onward chain. Communal gardens and towpath access give a pleasant waterside outlook and straightforward access to local amenities, bus services and nearby schools rated Good.
Notable drawbacks are the property’s modest overall size (about 534 sq ft) and slow broadband speeds, which could affect home-working. The local crime level is recorded as very high — buyers should factor this into personal safety and insurance considerations. Service charge is £882 (below average) and the flat has an EPC rating of C.
Overall this is a compact, well-located apartment offering immediate convenience and rental potential, but it suits buyers who prioritise location and ease of maintenance over large internal or private outdoor space.
