Summary - Flat 46 Williamson Court, 142, Greaves Road, LANCASTER LA1 4AR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Secure, low-maintenance retirement living with communal facilities and long lease.
Purpose-built Retirement Living Plus development with on-site care staff
Purpose-built for Retirement Living Plus, this third-floor one-bedroom apartment in Williamson Court offers secure, low-maintenance living for the over-70s. The layout includes a generous lounge with a Juliet balcony, fully fitted kitchen, double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and a separate shower room — all within a modern development completed in 2016. On-site support includes an Estate Manager, CQC-registered care staff, a 24-hour emergency call system and communal facilities such as a residents’ lounge and restaurant.
Practical benefits include electric underfloor heating, super-fast broadband, a camera door-entry system and a guest suite for visiting family (charges apply). The long lease (999 years from 2016) gives long-term security, and the apartment’s easterly aspect catches morning light. Lancaster’s amenities and coastline are nearby, and the city’s good rail and road links make visits from family straightforward.
Buyers should note the material costs: a high annual service charge of £9,651.83 and ground rent of £435 per year. Parking is by permit and subject to availability and extra fees. Heating is electric, which suits the building’s setup but may influence running costs depending on electricity tariffs. Purchase is restricted to residents aged 70 or over.
This property suits downsizers seeking community-focused, supported living with strong on-site services rather than a traditional family home. The Smooth Move package (time-limited) can reduce some moving expenses for qualifying purchasers.
