This ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment in South Lancaster offers comfortable, low-maintenance living in a converted Victorian building. At around 518 sq ft the layout includes a modern kitchen, spacious lounge, wet room, separate WC and two double bedrooms — sized for easy living rather than large-scale entertaining. Electric underfloor heating keeps bills simple and the property has off-street allocated parking and communal gardens.
The scheme is purpose-built for over-70s and includes extensive communal facilities: a subsidised chef-run restaurant, laundry, communal lounges, a spectacular roof terrace, wheelchair/scooter charging and optional daily activities. A manager and care team are on-site 24/7 and the service charge (currently £1,009.18 pa) covers cleaning, the care-call system and many communal services; additional personal care options are available at extra cost.
Practical facts to note: this is a leasehold retirement property with a 999-year lease, council tax Band C and a probate sale — a grant of probate may be required before a sale can complete. The apartment is well-located for local shops, frequent bus routes (stop outside), GP and hospital links, making it suitable for those seeking convenience and community.
The flat will suit buyers wanting a cared-for, sociable retirement setting with on-site support and low-maintenance living. The property’s modest overall size and communal service charge are key considerations when assessing affordability and lifestyle fit.
