Summary - DIANA COURT 9 HENRY STREET LANCASTER LA1 1BX
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable 2-bed city flat with period character and easy rail links.
80% of full market value via Lancaster Affordable Housing Scheme
Set on the second floor of a stone-built period block, this two-bedroom apartment is offered through Lancaster City Council’s Affordable Housing Scheme at 80% of full market value — a clear route onto the property ladder for first-time buyers. The flat has a large dining kitchen, a generous living area and a newly refurbished shower room, with gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
The location is the main draw: true city-centre living with shops, cafes, canal-side walks and excellent rail and bus links within easy walking distance. High ceilings and traditional sash-style windows give period character, while maintained communal areas keep day-to-day upkeep straightforward.
Be clear on the practical points: the home is leasehold with shared-ownership tenure, an annual ground rent of £70 and a service charge of about £1,260 per year. Parking is on-street by permit only, there is no private garden, and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow.
This flat suits first-time buyers who prioritise location, character and an affordable entry price over private outdoor space and high-speed internet. The property is presented well internally but comes with typical urban trade-offs — on-street parking, shared communal grounds and a local crime level reported as very high — so viewings are recommended for buyers seeking convenient city-centre living at an accessible price point.
