Location

The Residence on Kershaw Drive sits within one of South Lancaster’s most distinctive developments, set behind mature hedging and period stone architecture that gives the area a calm, established feel. This part of LA1 is popular with professionals and downsizers who value privacy and green surroundings while staying well connected. Lancaster city centre, the train station and the university campuses are all within easy reach, making it a practical base for day-to-day life.

Green space is a real part of the appeal here. The development is surrounded by well-kept grounds and tree-lined outlooks, with nearby walking routes offering an easy way to get outside without leaving the neighbourhood. Road links towards the city, the M6 and the wider North Lancashire area are straightforward, and the sense of space around The Residence continues to set it apart from more conventional apartment living.

Property Description

Accessed via its own private entrance on the corner of the building, this ground floor apartment immediately feels more like a small home than a typical apartment. A gated pathway leads through the private, north-east facing garden, where a flagged seating area and lawn create a useful outdoor space that’s easy to enjoy and maintain. A full-height glazed door opens directly into the kitchen, setting the tone for the light, modern interior.

The open-plan kitchen, living and dining space is generous in scale and works well for everyday living as well as hosting. The kitchen is fitted with high-gloss white units and fully integrated appliances, keeping the layout clean and uncluttered. Two large feature windows sit at the corner of the room, bringing in plenty of natural light and offering a clear outlook across Kershaw Drive — even allowing you to see the allocated parking spaces from the living area.

Both bedrooms are well proportioned and quietly positioned. The main bedroom has an angular layout that adds interest without compromising space, along with a smart en-suite shower room that has seen very little use. The second bedroom overlooks the private garden and has been freshly painted, making it an ideal guest room or home office. The main bathroom is fully tiled and finished to a high standard, having been rarely used. Throughout, the apartment has been recently redecorated, with clean carpets and a neutral finish, and is offered chain free.
