Chain-free one-bedroom flat with long lease and communal gardens..
Ground-floor one-bedroom with recreation-ground views
Set on the ground floor of a 1960s block, this one-bedroom flat offers straightforward, no-chain entry and long lease security (956 years). The open-plan living room and modernised kitchen face the recreation ground, delivering pleasant green views and natural light. A communal patio and gardens extend your living space outside.
Practical details suit a budget-conscious buyer: very low council tax, double glazing fitted after 2002, and electric underfloor heating. The property is being sold as seen and currently has an offer of £85,000 registered under a public notice; higher written offers may be submitted before exchange.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an EPC rating of G and cavity walls likely without added insulation. Heating is solely electric and the block dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so further energy-efficiency improvements or refurbishment could be needed. The wider area is classed as a communal retirement environment and crime levels are above average, which may affect some buyers' priorities.
This home will suit someone downsizing, seeking an affordable entry into Lancaster, or an investor targeting steady rental demand close to schools and public transport. The flat’s compact size and condition make it a good candidate for targeted upgrades to improve comfort and energy performance.
