Offered at auction, this freehold period house is arranged over three floors and is described as having three bedrooms and spacious, flexible accommodation. The listing states that it has double glazing and gas-fired central heating, and that it requires refurbishment and modernisation throughout.
The property is within walking distance of Worcester city centre, with local amenities, schools, parks and transport links nearby. Shrub Hill and Foregate Street railway stations are accessible, and the M5 can be reached via Junctions 6 and 7.
The seller indicates that the accommodation could be reconfigured, with possible apartment or HMO use, subject to planning permission and other required consents.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
80out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £250,000, this substantial three-storey period house is offered at about £109/sqf, well below the local average of £308/sqf—an unusually low entry point for a Worcester property of this size. It is being sold by online auction, so bidding can take the hammer above the guide and the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
The visible interiors provide a clear medium-scale improvement project: refresh the dated finishes, update the kitchen and bathroom, and bring the overgrown rear garden back into use. Period cornicing, a fireplace, the double-fronted brick exterior and a central location give the house character and a strong base for a tailored family home; alternative layouts or uses are possibilities only subject to the necessary consents.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated carpets, marked walls and older finishes across the visible interiors while retaining period details such as the cornicing and fireplace.
- Modernise the kitchen and bathroom and clear and improve the overgrown rear garden.
- Make use of the substantial three-storey layout as a family home; explore other configurations only subject to planning and statutory consents.
