Summary - 1 Whitby House, Commercial Street, HEREFORD HR1 2EH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ready-to-let city-centre flat with long lease and low maintenance.
First-floor one-bedroom apartment, open-plan living and kitchen
This one-bedroom, first-floor apartment in Whitby House offers a compact, low-maintenance city-centre home or buy-to-let close to Hereford’s shops, station and bus links. The living room is generous for the size, with a triple-glazed front window, air-conditioning and an open-plan kitchen area. A fitted bathroom and a bedroom with electric wall heater complete the accommodation.
Practical positives include a very long lease (243 years remaining), no onward chain and Superfast broadband availability. The property is served by mains utilities and benefits from standard modern finishes that make it ready to occupy or let with minimal immediate work.
Buyers should note material cost and amenity considerations: the property is leasehold with an estimated service charge of about £227 per month and a ground rent near £225 per year. Heating is electric room heaters (no gas central heating), which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. There is no private outdoor space and the building fronts Commercial Street, so expect limited privacy and street noise.
The wider location is a busy, cosmopolitan central area with strong footfall and many amenities but a very high local crime rate and overall neighbourhood deprivation. This makes the flat most suitable for investors targeting central lets or buyers prioritising convenience over suburban tranquillity.
