Summary - CUSTOM HOUSE, ST GEORGES QUAY LA1 1RB
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact one-bed riverside flat with river views — great city-base for first-time buyers.
Riverside lounge with Juliet balcony and direct River Lune views
A compact riverside one-bedroom flat in a converted mill, Custom House on St George’s Quay, offers an unusual combination of historic character and modern fittings. The lounge opens onto a Juliet balcony with direct views over the River Lune, creating a bright, airy focal point. The separate modern kitchen and well-proportioned double bedroom make the layout practical for everyday living.
This apartment is well suited to first-time buyers or city-based downsizers looking for low-maintenance living close to Lancaster city centre and transport links. Managed communal areas, gas central heating on a community/top-up meter and double glazing keep running and upkeep straightforward. Off-street parking is available to the rear with pay-and-display plus council permits.
Be clear about the drawbacks: the property is leasehold with 103 years remaining, an annual ground rent of £10 and a current service charge of around £480 per year. The block sits in a locality with higher crime rates and pockets of deprivation, which may affect some buyers’ preferences and rental prospects. The apartment is small (approx. 377 sq ft) so storage and large furniture options are limited.
Overall this apartment offers an affordable riverside entry point in a characterful converted warehouse. It’s a practical, low-maintenance home with genuine commuter convenience — best for buyers prioritising location, views and a compact city base rather than large living space or an immediate investment let without local-market research.
