This two-bedroom, double-fronted period cottage is set beside the River Salwarpe, with a public pedestrian bridge providing access to Vines Park. The property is described as requiring complete renovation and is reached via a public pathway.
The accommodation includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room and boiler room, together with two interconnecting bedrooms and a ground-floor bathroom. The agent states that mains services are available and that gas central heating is provided by a Worcester boiler. The property is understood to be freehold, and its stated EPC rating is D.
The cottage offers scope for a comprehensive refurbishment, subject to inspection and verification of the building and its services. The riverside setting and nearby park are notable features, while the access arrangement should be considered as part of any purchase assessment.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £150,000, this cottage is priced well below the local average on a £/sqf basis, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The riverside setting beside Vines Park, double-fronted period character and two reception rooms give the project a distinctive starting point, but the condition is a major undertaking: upper rooms have damaged ceilings and exposed roof structure, while finishes are deteriorated in several areas. The roof coverings are visible, but the photos do not establish their condition.
This is a full-gut project rather than a cosmetic refresh, with scope to reshape and renew the interiors and reclaim the overgrown garden and patio. Access is via a public pathway, so that practical consideration should be checked as part of due diligence.
Key opportunities
- Use the double-fronted period cottage and two reception rooms as a canvas to renew the interior and make the layout work for a future owner.
- The riverside position beside Vines Park gives the property a distinctive setting that is difficult to create through renovation.
- Clear the overgrowth to reveal and improve the garden and paved patio.
Key risks
- Damaged and missing ceiling sections, exposed roof structure and deteriorated finishes in the upper rooms point to a heavy full-interior rebuild; allow for a substantial programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Access is via a public pathway, which may affect day-to-day use and should be verified before proceeding.
