Beautiful apartment with a private garden at the grand Old Fire Station in Worcester. On the prestigious first floor with open plan living area, gorgeous kitchen with white quartz worktops, two double bedrooms, lift, VIEWS of the CATHEDRAL, allocated parking and a communal ROOF GARDEN. Upgrades include an antique mirror kitchen backsplash, wooden flooring throughout, kitchen island and fitted wardrobes (Note furnishings are available for sale by separate negotiation with the owner).

The Old Fire Station, RIBA West Midlands Award Winner 2025, is a new development of luxurious apartments set in a premier location, conveniently situated for the local amenities of Worcester including a bustling high street, great selection of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, cinema, Foregate railway station, and all within easy access of the river. With its carefully considered blend of brick, copper, cedar and glass this landmark development reflects a reputation for quality, innovation and the finest attention to detail.

The owner has explained "From the moment I walked into this apartment, I knew it was different. The generous hallway, 10ft grand ceilings and sense of space were exactly what I had been searching for and every room has that same feeling of light and proportion. Add in a rare private terrace, a communal city garden, two lifts, secure on-site parking and a truly central location, and it felt like the perfect combination of calm and convenience".

"The original specification was already exceptional, with an Elgar kitchen, a beautifully appointed bathroom with underfloor heating, timber floors to the living areas, solid wooden doors and aged brass ironmongery and fittings throughout. Over time, I have carefully enhanced the space with a bespoke Elgar kitchen island, an antiqued glass splashback that becomes a real focal point, a fully fitted Hammonds Langton wardrobe, and wooden flooring in both bedrooms. Every choice was made to complement the character of the building while creating a contemporary home"

"Living at The Old Fire Station has been genuinely special. There is something quite rare about being part of a historic building with such a strong sense of community, while also enjoying immediate access to the city and local life. It is a place that feels both distinctive and welcoming"

"I have loved shaping this apartment into what it is today, a stylish, peaceful sanctuary to live and I hope the next owner enjoys it just as much"
