A compact top-floor apartment in a restored Victorian building, recently refurbished in a sleek monochrome style. The open-plan living/kitchen and a double bedroom make this a ready-to-move-in city base for a single homeowner or couple. The property benefits from high ceilings and a pleasant, tree-lined outlook over Bulk Street.
Practical details suit first-time buyers: a very long lease (965 years), no ground rent and a modest monthly service charge (£86.30). The kitchen is newly fitted with integrated appliances and the shower room uses a contemporary electric rain shower — all contributing to immediate comfort and low refurbishment need.
Buyers should note the apartment’s small overall size (approx. 334 sq ft) and electric room heaters as the main heating source, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas. The EPC rating is D and glazing install date is unknown. The local area is lively and well connected but records very high crime — an important consideration for buyers prioritising quiet or security.
Positioned a short walk from Lancaster city centre, transport links and cultural amenities, this home is suitable as a first property, city pied-à-terre or rental investment. It’s move-in ready but purchasers seeking larger accommodation or lower running costs may prefer elsewhere.
