• Planning Ref: M/23/00715/OUT


The existing bungalow
Currently comprising of three double bedrooms, a single room/office, a generously sized kitchen, lounge/diner, bathroom and WC, the property also represents the potential to generate rental income whilst the wider development is completed.

Set well back from the Martley Road and centrally positioned on the site, this large four bedroom 1,539 sq ft bungalow offers further opportunity for redevelopment.

Due to its generous size and proportions, once refurbished the bungalow has the potential to be a significant property within this development.


The potential detached bungalows
The outlined planning permission granted consists of two bungalows at 1,669 sq ft and two at 1,851 sq ft, offering highly desirable spacious layouts.

Each property is accompanied by three parking spaces and detached garages, catering for a diverse range of buyers from families to downsizers.

With outline planning permission granted and the substantial footprint of the properties, the developer has the opportunity to craft a luxurious high-end development (subject to planning permissions).

Keepings is conveniently located within easy reach of the various amenities St Johns offers. These include a diverse array of shops, eateries, a sports centre, church and the picturesque Cripplegate Park. For residents seeking an active lifestyle, the Rowing Club is just a few minutes’ walk downstream, while numerous scenic walks are easily accessible nearby.

The area benefits from excellent transportation links, with numerous buses connecting directly to Worcester City centre and convenient road networks to Malvern and Hereford. Two train stations are located within the city with links to both Birmingham and London.

Worcester serves as a vibrant shopping destination, offering a wide range of retail outlets to suit all tastes and preferences. The city can also boast excellent educational institutions, with prestigious schools such as King’s School and the Royal Grammar School, both within walking distance of the property.

Given the presence of the dwelling currently on the plot, we understand that all services are located nearby. However, we recommend that prospective purchasers conduct their own due diligence to verify the location and capacity of services for their own scheme proposals.
