Bright renovated home with secure parking and a very long lease.
Third-floor riverside views over River Lune and Millennium Bridge
Situated on the third floor of The Millrace, this recently refurbished two-bedroom apartment offers bright, open-plan living with striking views over the River Lune and the Millennium Bridge. The living area has French doors to a Juliet balcony and a picture window that frames the riverside outlook; the galley kitchen features marble-effect worktops and an integrated breakfast bar. Both double bedrooms have Juliet balconies and the master includes a modern ensuite. A secure allocated space in the undercroft garage provides convenient parking.
Practical benefits include a very long lease (978 years remaining), no ground rent, and a reasonable annual service charge of £2,022.90. The property is offered chain free and presents as a low-maintenance home, suitable for professionals, academics, or a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-move-in apartment in a central, well-connected location close to the station and shops.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold apartment managed by the Millrace Management Company. Heating is electric via room heaters and the property has an electric hot water cylinder, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds are reported as slow. The local area data also records very high crime levels and higher deprivation; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves about local safety and service provision.
Overall this apartment combines riverside views, recent renovation and secure parking with the practicalities and costs of leasehold living and electric heating. It will suit someone prioritising location, finish and long-term ownership security over expansive square footage.
