Modern second-floor retirement flat with on-site care, communal bistro and roof terrace.
Second-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, 606 sq ft, newly redecorated
A bright, newly redecorated one-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of Williamson Court, designed for independent over-70s who value on-site support and sociable communal living. The open-plan kitchen/living room and large windows provide a light, comfortable space with contemporary fittings and new carpets throughout. The apartment includes a walk-in wardrobe and a level-access wet room adapted for ease of use.
Williamson Court offers genuine peace of mind: an Estate Manager and CQC-registered care team are on-site, there’s a 24-hour emergency call system, one hour of domestic assistance is included weekly, and bespoke care packages are available. Communal amenities include a homeowners’ lounge, table-service bistro, roof terrace with views, guest suite, mobility scooter store and lift to all floors — ideal for staying active and connected.
Practical considerations you should know: this is a leasehold retirement development with a long 999-year lease, but the annual service charge is substantial at £9,651.83 and ground rent is £435 per year. Parking is by permit subject to availability and costs £250 per year. Buyers should budget for service charges and any additional care costs beyond the included hour of assistance.
Well placed for convenience, the development sits close to bus stops and is roughly half a mile from Lancaster city centre and the canal, offering easy access to shops, markets and local heritage. For someone looking to downsize into a secure, sociable setting with practical support on hand, this apartment is a strong choice — provided the service charge and ongoing costs suit your budget.
