This compact two-bedroom first-floor flat sits in a small private courtyard just off the A6 at Bay Horse, offering a practical, affordable entry into this very affluent rural area. At about 420 sq ft the home has an open-plan dining kitchen, a separate living room and a shower room — neatly finished and ready to occupy or update to personal taste. Two allocated parking spaces and access to lawned communal areas add everyday convenience.
Important practical points to note: the property currently sits within a wider freehold and is expected to convert to long leasehold for each apartment — specific lease terms and any future service charges are yet to be finalised. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property drains to a septic tank; broadband is reported slow. The building is stone-built, predates 1900 and is assumed to lack wall insulation, while double glazing is present but install date is unknown.
For first-time buyers seeking value close to Lancaster University, the A6 and M6 J33, this apartment is a sensible, low-entry option. Council Tax is in Band A, keeping ongoing local costs modest. The flat’s compact size and some modernisation needs make it a practical buy for those willing to accept a smaller footprint in exchange for location, off-street parking and low purchase price.
