Stourport-on-Severn rental market, what landlords need to know
Stourport-on-Severn is a market town in Wyre Forest District, Worcestershire, situated at the confluence of the River Stour and the River Severn, approximately 3 miles south of Kidderminster, 16 miles south-west of Birmingham, and 14 miles north of Worcester. With a population of approximately 19,500, Stourport-on-Severn is the second-largest settlement in Wyre Forest District (after Kidderminster). Stourport is notable for having been essentially created by the canal age: the town was founded in the 1770s as the junction point of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal with the River Severn (the canal basin, Georgian canalside buildings, and historic lock flights are now a Scheduled Ancient Monument and popular heritage attraction). Today, the town's economy is driven by: manufacturing (the Stourport Power Station site has been redeveloped for business use; Light industrial and manufacturing businesses in Hartlebury Road and the Stourport Business Park); Wyre Forest District Council; healthcare (Kidderminster Treatment Centre ~3 miles; Worcestershire Royal Hospital ~14 miles); retail/leisure; and a significant residential and retirement market attracted by the Severn riverfront, canal basin, and Wyre Forest access. Road: the A451 links Stourport to Kidderminster (A449/M5 access) to the north and Worcester (A443) to the south; the A4025 connects to Bewdley (1.5 miles north-west; Severn Valley Railway). Rail: the nearest mainline station is Kidderminster (~3 miles north; services to Birmingham New Street ~40 min; Worcester Shrub Hill ~20 min). Average rents for a 2-bed are £700–£850 pcm.
