Summary - The Residence, Lancaster | Stylish apartment with Private Balcony! LA1 3TF
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Characterful one-bedroom apartment beside Williamson Park with private balcony and parking.
Grade II listed conversion with high ceilings and character features
Set within a striking Grade II listed former hospital on the edge of Williamson Park, this second-floor one-bedroom apartment pairs period character with contemporary living. Tall ceilings and arched windows give the open-plan lounge and kitchen a light, airy feel, while patio doors open onto a private balcony for quiet outdoor space. The modern fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and a convenient utility room; the bedroom is a generous double and the bathroom feels boutique-hotel styled.
Practical details suit downsizers or professionals seeking low-maintenance living: allocated off-street parking, well-kept communal grounds, residents’ lounge areas, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The building’s long lease (238 years) and an EPC rating of B are positive ownership attributes, and the apartment’s central Lancaster location puts shops, cafes, rail links and Williamson Park within easy reach.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is listed (Grade II), which can restrict alterations and may complicate some changes or refurbishments. It is leasehold with a biannual ground rent (£187.08) and a monthly service charge (c. £189.05); communal-management arrangements apply. The local crime rate is above average, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall this is a stylish, low-maintenance one-bedroom that benefits from characterful architecture and strong location next to parkland. It will appeal to those looking to downsize into a well-appointed, community-focused development, or buyers prioritising a city-edge address with easy transport links. Be prepared for listed-building constraints and ongoing service charges when considering alterations or long-term plans.
