A well-proportioned one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in an over-55s retirement complex, newly renovated and ready to move into. The layout is traditional with a bright living room, fitted bedroom storage and a refurbished bathroom — practical, low-maintenance accommodation for someone looking to downsize while staying close to city amenities.
The apartment benefits from a private rear entrance with direct access to the car park, off-street parking and communal lounges and gardens for social activities. Its location places you within walking distance of Lancaster city centre, local shops, supermarkets and transport links, while nearby green spaces and riverside walks offer pleasant outdoor options.
