Property Details

A well-presented apartment with views and a fresh, modern finish

Set on the first floor of a small block of similar homes, this smart two-bedroom apartment has been tastefully updated in recent years to create a low-maintenance and move-in ready home. Inside, the décor is neutral and inviting, with soft new carpets and clean finishes throughout.

From the central hallway, all rooms are easily accessed. The spacious lounge-diner is filled with natural light and enjoys far-reaching views towards the hills and Williamson Park – the perfect spot to relax after a busy day. The fitted kitchen features oak-style units, a sleek black sink, and slate-effect tiling, giving a smart contrast to the light worktops.

There are two bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from dual aspect windows, enhancing both space and light. The second is a versatile L-shape – ideal for use as a guest room, study or hobby space. The bathroom has been updated with a modern walk-in shower and low-maintenance aqua board finish.

Outside, the property benefits from private allocated parking and additional visitor spaces. It forms part of the Lancaster City Council affordable housing scheme – meaning it offers excellent value for a well-cared-for home in a desirable location.
