The location is excellent. It is within close proximity to Worcester city centre, offering easy access to shops, restaurants, and other amenities. Several highly-rated schools are also within walking distance, including St George’s Catholic Primary School and Riversides School. Worcester Foregate Street train station is less than a kilometre away, providing convenient access to public transportation. Considering the property’s condition, location, and the inclusion of a private patio and access to communal gardens, the list price of £215,000 appears reasonable. While the average price per square foot in the area is £290, this property is in a desirable retirement development with added amenities, justifying a higher price per square foot. The average house price in the area is £280,686, and while this property is significantly smaller, the premium location and condition likely offset the difference in size. Nearby comparable properties support this assessment, although a direct comparison is difficult due to the lack of square footage data for those properties.

Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
