A purpose-built second-floor apartment in St. Leonards Court, designed for the over-55s and offered at £79,950. The block sits close to Lancaster city centre and provides easy access to shops, transport and local amenities. The apartment is compact (approx. 570 sq ft) and arranged as a comfortable lounge, fitted kitchen, modern bathroom and two bedrooms — the master with built-in storage.
Residents benefit from communal facilities including a lounge, laundry room, well-kept communal grounds, lift to all floors and off-street parking. Practical features include UPVC double glazing and electric storage heating, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for those who use digital services.
Notable costs and considerations are factual: leasehold with c.90 years remaining and an annual service charge around £2,880. The area is classified as a cosmopolitan, student neighbourhood with a very high crime score and overall local deprivation; this can mean occasional noise and a busier local environment. Heating is electric (storage heaters) rather than gas, which may affect running costs.
This apartment suits someone seeking low-maintenance, communal retirement living close to the city — ideal for downsizers who prioritise convenience, social facilities and accessibility over private outdoor space. Buyers should budget for service charges and consider the electric heating and local area character before viewing.
