Castle Hill, Lancaster LA1

7A Castle Hill, Lancaster, LA1 1YS

Set on one of Lancaster’s most historic and recognisable streets, 7A Castle Hill sits right at the heart of the city’s cultural and architectural core. Cobbled streets, the Castle itself, and landmarks such as the Judge’s Lodgings are all just moments from the door, and visible from the lounge! This gives Castle Hill a real sense of place, nestled in the heart of the city, that’s hard to replicate. Despite the central position, the apartment is tucked away via a private courtyard, offering a quieter feel than you might expect. This is a location that appeals to those who value character, walkability and a connection to Lancaster’s history, with cafés, independent shops, the city centre and transport links all within easy reach.

Accessed via an attractive communal entrance with a handcrafted wooden staircase, the apartment occupies the first floor and immediately feels well-proportioned and full of period detail. The living room is a real highlight, with good ceiling height, decorative cornicing, ceiling roses and Georgian sash windows that frame striking views up towards Lancaster Castle. It’s a comfortable, light-filled space that feels both welcoming and easy to live in. The kitchen sits separately and offers solid oak units, integrated appliances and space for everyday dining, with a sash window overlooking the courtyard below. The Primary bedroom a genuine double, the secondary a great sized single with plenty of space for a desk, each with their own sash windows and a calm, settled feel, while the bathroom has been recently updated to include a modern walk-in shower, finished with crisp white tiling and subtle blue detailing. Outside, the apartment benefits from a small foregarden within the private courtyard – a rare and valuable addition for city centre living, ideal for potted plants or a quiet seat outdoors.
