Location
The Residence is one of Lancaster’s most distinctive and sought-after developments. Set within landscaped grounds on the edge of Williamson Park, this Grade II listed former hospital has been tastefully converted into high-quality apartments while retaining its historic character. The development enjoys a semi-elevated position, giving many homes pleasant outlooks towards Lancaster, the Bay, and the Lakeland Hills beyond.
Just a short stroll brings you into the city centre, where you’ll find a range of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and cultural attractions including Lancaster Castle and The Dukes Theatre. For everyday needs, supermarkets such as Booths, Aldi, and Sainsbury’s are all close by. Families will appreciate the choice of local schools, while commuters benefit from excellent transport links, with Lancaster train station and the M6 motorway within easy reach. Williamson Park itself, right on the doorstep, offers 54 acres of woodland walks, gardens, and open space, complete with café, play areas and the iconic Ashton Memorial.
The Property
Positioned at the top of the south wing, this superb duplex apartment spans three floors and offers a stylish blend of modern living with character features. The main living space is a bright and generous open-plan area, designed for both comfort and entertaining. At one end sits a sleek contemporary kitchen, fitted with high-gloss handleless units and integrated appliances. Quartz worktops and a breakfast bar add a touch of luxury, while large concertina doors lead directly out to a private south-facing balcony.
On the same floor, the master bedroom benefits from bespoke fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. There is also a separate guest WC and a useful storage cupboard in the hallway. Upstairs, a further double bedroom comes with its own en-suite, making it ideal for visitors or family. Rising again, the unique tower room provides a striking living area with 360-degree views – perfect as a TV snug, home office, or an additional guest bedroom. Throughout, the décor is neutral and well presented, with quality fixtures and a bright, spacious feel.
