Location

Wheatfield Court sits just off Dalton Road and Blade Street, placing it right in the heart of Lancaster city centre while remaining slightly tucked away from the main thoroughfares. Lancaster train station is less than a two-minute walk, making this an ideal spot for anyone who values easy travel and strong transport links. Everyday amenities, cafés, shops and services are all close by, while the Lancaster Canal offers a quieter route for walking and gentle exercise, leading out towards Fairfield Nature Reserve. The development is well suited to residents looking for a convenient, walkable lifestyle with everything on hand, without the need for a car.

The apartment

This one-bedroom, ground-floor apartment is accessed via its own private front door, opening into a central hallway with good ceiling height and original cornicing that adds a subtle period feel. A built-in storage cupboard off the hall houses the hot water and immersion tank, remaining original to the development.

The bedroom is a comfortable double, fitted with built-in wardrobes and enjoying a pleasant outlook over the gardens and towards Blade Street. The bathroom is arranged with a three-piece suite including a walk-in shower, white sanitary ware, vinyl flooring and painted walls, offering a practical and easy-to-maintain space.

The main living area is laid out as an open-plan lounge and kitchen, creating a flexible room for day-to-day living. The kitchen is a sensible size, fitted with white shaker-style units and quartz-effect worktops, and looks out towards the rear parking area. From the lounge, a small conservatory provides an additional sitting area, ideal for reading or enjoying the garden outlook throughout the year.

Outside, the apartment benefits from access to a shared wraparound garden, jointly used with the apartment above. Recently improved with astroturf and established planted borders, it provides a pleasant and low-maintenance outdoor space to enjoy without the upkeep of a private garden. Communal parking is located to the rear of the development, with additional permit parking available on nearby streets.
