This first-floor apartment in Ushers Meadow is designed for residents aged 55 and over, offering a comfortable one-bedroom layout with a generous living room and modern kitchen. The property is chain free and includes an allocated off-street parking space and a small enclosed garden — convenient extras for independent retirees who value easy access and low-maintenance outdoor space.
The interior is tidy and practical: a double bedroom, contemporary shower room, bay-windowed living area and laminate floors throughout. The long lease (circa 960 years) provides security of tenure, and council tax sits in Band A, keeping running costs modest. The location is a short trip to Lancaster city centre with good local amenities and fast broadband.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with an average service charge of about £1,155 per year and a no-pets policy. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central heating, which may affect energy costs compared with gas-heated homes. The apartment is accessed via stairs to the first floor, so it is not suitable for anyone who needs step-free access.
Overall, this property will suit an over-55 buyer seeking a well-presented, low-upkeep home close to city amenities and transport. It offers straightforward living, a long lease, and allocated parking — with a few practical considerations around heating, service charges and mobility access.
