Description
This four-storey Grade II listed Georgian building, with cellars below, is currently arranged as offices and has approved planning permission for conversion back to a private residence. The accommodation totals approximately 5,303 sq ft. Its period details include sash windows with shutters, fanlights, marble-surround fireplaces, ornate cornicing, tall ceilings, deep skirting and an open-well mahogany staircase. The listing also notes original stone flooring and bay and feature windows.
A walled courtyard provides private outdoor space, and a parking space in College Yard is included. The property is in Worcester’s Cathedral Quarter, beside the cathedral precincts and within walking distance of city amenities, riverside walks and the railway stations. The existing office layout and listed status mean the residential conversion will require careful assessment and delivery.

76out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
A Grade II listed Georgian building in Worcester’s Cathedral Quarter, with cathedral views, a walled courtyard and striking period details, offers a distinctive canvas for a substantial city home. The asking price of £400,000 works out at about £75 per sq ft, well below the local average of £277 per sq ft, making the acquisition price a major opportunity. Approved permission to convert the office-arranged property back to a residence provides a clear starting point; the visible works include adapting and redecorating the commercial interiors and replacing the patterned carpet. The fitted galley kitchen appears serviceable in the available image. The renovation estimate is further provisional because photo coverage is limited.
Limited photo coverage means the renovation estimate is further provisional.
