209 North Wing, The Residence, Kershaw Drive, Lancaster, LA1 3TF

Set within the impressive grounds of The Residence, one of Lancaster’s most desirable apartment developments, this home enjoys a peaceful yet highly convenient position just south of the city centre. Originally part of the former Royal Lancaster Infirmary, the development blends striking architecture with landscaped surroundings and a secure, well-managed environment. Residents benefit from a quiet setting while remaining within easy reach of Lancaster city centre, the mainline railway station, and road links connecting to the M6 and the wider region. The nearby Williamson Park provides beautiful green space for walking and relaxation, while the city’s independent cafés, restaurants, and cultural venues are just minutes away. The development continues to attract professionals and downsizers seeking a balance of character, convenience and community.

The Property

Apartment 209 is a particularly well-presented two-bedroom apartment that stands out from many within the building thanks to thoughtful upgrades and careful presentation. The main living space is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area extending over 26 feet, creating a bright and sociable space for everyday living and entertaining. Tall windows draw in natural light and enhance the sense of space, while hardwood flooring throughout the living area adds warmth and a more refined finish than the standard specification. Custom electric blinds have been installed in every window and are set on a customisable timer system, currently set to rise at sunrise and close at sunset, adding both comfort and convenience. The kitchen area is neatly arranged with contemporary cabinetry and integrated appliances, further enhanced by the addition of a boiling water tap.

A central hallway connects the rest of the apartment, where two well-proportioned double bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation. The main bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom provides flexibility for guests, a home office or additional living space. A separate bathroom serves the apartment and features a modern suite with bath and shower over. A useful utility cupboard adds valuable storage and practicality. Altogether, this is a smart, ready-to-move-into apartment that offers a high level of comfort with subtle improvements that help it stand apart from other apartments within the development.
