About this property
A spacious and well appointed two bedroom second floor apartment in the revered and iconic South Wing of The Residence to the east of Lancaster city centre.
With its balcony, it's two bathrooms and it's two parking spaces the accommodation is well served and positioned so there are no neighbors upstairs is a real plus. The apartment oozes character with its spacious rooms, its period features and its bespoke arches and design. A great addition to the market and one which needs to be viewed to be appreciated. There is lift access from the well maintained communal areas. We recommend internal inspection..
The Accommodation..
Accessible from the well maintained landing which is itself accessible from the serviced lift, the welcoming entrance hallway really sets the tone. You'll be wowed by the spacious lounge/kitchen which affords access onto the balcony and the two well proportioned bedrooms show a really meticulous design with comfortable living at its very heart. The internal accommodation is completed by the bathroom and shower room, both of which are sleek in design with stylish fittings.
Let's Look At The Grounds..
Set within 16 hectares the main annexe building is at the core of the development which was completed around 2016. The communal areas including gardens and reception areas are very well maintained and serviced lifts ensure smooth passage to the upper floor apartments.
The Location..
The Residence sits in a perfect position to take advantage of a wide range of amenities that the historic city of Lancaster has to offer, as well as providing a great base for holiday home purchasers thanks to the nearby national parks of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. A multitude of high street shops, ample restaurants, bars and supermarkets are all within easy reach, as well as highly regarded schools, the Royal Infirmary and a West Coast mainline railway station. For commuters, local buses provide regular travel in and around the city, including routes to the Universities of Lancaster & Cumbria, and further afield, the M6 motorway lies just over three miles away. The iconic Williamson Park is a short walk away with the Ashton Memorial and Butterfly House always a hit with visiting friends and family.
