About this home
Pointer House is a well-known student accommodation building right on the edge of Lancaster city centre, at 2 Bowerham Road — effectively where the city centre blends into Bowerham and the university quarter. It sits opposite the University of Cumbria campus and only a short walk from the main shopping streets, the train station and the hospital. The property has been under the same ownership since 2004 and has always enjoyed higher than average occupancy rates, thanks in no small part to the standard of maintenance that has always been adhered to throughout their time. Location also has always been at the forefront of appeal with transport links to the University of Lancaster and the University of Cumbria being just a short walk away. Lancaster City Centre is just a short stroll down South Road and there you can find a strong retail presence as well as Train and Bus links. 27 Bedrooms are available all with en-suite facilities split between the main building and separate annex space. There are also four living rooms for shared cooking and socialising. To the front of the property is a well equipped office space, however there is currently a managing agent engaged therefore if the new owner wishes a more hands off approach, introductions can be made. Externally is equally impressive with an abundance of allocated parking spaces and cycle storage. Mature trees mark the boundary with an added element of privacy and a calming environment for residents to enjoy all within immediate access of Lancaster’s rich and vibrant community and activities.
