The Tything

This classic terraced building forms part of the historic Tything street scene in the middle of Worcester City, located in a Conservation area. The property has existing use as offices (Class E) but is suitable for reversion to the original residential status, subject to suitable consents. A Pre-Panning Advice Application has been submitted to Worcester City Council regarding the potential to convert and subdivide into 2 dwellings (ref 23/00522/PA). The Grade II Listed building is believed to date from the 18th Century in it's current form, but is likely to be much older with stucco-ed frontage and sash windows being an earlier restoration following damage during the Civil War around 1650. An impressive central staircase looks to have Tudor origins. The building has latterly been used for business occupation but offers great potential for residential use, as a larger dwelling or two units, subject to the relevant permission being granted.

No. 16 The Tything

A larger plot and building than No 15 but with similar street frontage, a painted stucco exterior under a clay tiled roof, with access both front and rear. Parking for several vehicles is provided to the rear with vehicular access off Surman Street.
This is an historic building with Doric-styled doorcase and sash windows, laid out over three floors plus attic rooms, cellar storage and open parking to the rear.
A rear wing lends itself to providing separate accommodation, or an annexe, and this potential is being investigated under the Pre-Planning Application, as noted previously.
This property oozes character with a major feature being the historic central staircase leading to all floors.
The property has latterly been used as offices and will require some reconfiguration and modernisation to suit residential use.
A significant floor area of some 4,265 sq ft provides ample space and opportunity to create a generous home. There is scope to create 6-7 bedrooms, as a single dwelling or splitting use with permission, 3-4 reception rooms plus kitchen and an external storeroom.
