About this home

The Location Spinners Court occupies an excellent canal-side position close to the heart of Lancaster, combining an attractive outlook with the convenience of city living. Lancaster Canal runs alongside the development, providing a pleasant setting for waterside walks, while The Water Witch is just across the road and is a popular spot for food and drinks overlooking the canal. Lancaster city centre is only a short walk away, placing a wide choice of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday services within easy reach. Aldi is also conveniently nearby, while the railway and bus stations provide useful connections further afield. For those looking to enjoy retirement without relying heavily on a car, the location is particularly practical, with so much accessible on foot. Spinners Court itself is a purpose-built development for the over-55s, offering residents the opportunity to enjoy their own private home alongside useful communal facilities and a welcoming community environment. Property Information Positioned to the front of the development with attractive views towards Lancaster Canal, this spacious one-bedroom apartment is believed to be one of the larger designs within Spinners Court. The apartment is immaculately presented, with a generous layout extending to approximately 611 sq ft and lift access within the development. A spacious entrance hallway provides useful built-in storage, including a cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. From here, the apartment opens into an impressive lounge diner, a particularly generous room with plenty of space for both comfortable seating and a dining table. An electric fire creates a focal point, while French doors with a Juliet balcony bring in plenty of natural light and allow the canal outlook to be enjoyed from the living space. The kitchen is conveniently positioned just off the lounge diner and is fitted with cream gloss cabinetry, wood-effect worktops and integrated cooking appliances. These appliances are already installed and included at no cost if required. There is also space and plumbing for a washing machine and space for a fridge freezer. A further walk-in cupboard off the living area provides valuable additional storage. The bedroom is notably spacious, with room for a full range of furniture and fitted storage along one wall. Its front-facing position also means the bedroom benefits from views towards the canal. The bathroom is accessed from the hallway and includes a three-piece suite with a bath and shower over. Residents have access to a communal lounge, where regular activities provide the opportunity to socialise, along with communal laundry facilities and maintained communal gardens. A guest apartment can be hired for visiting family and friends, while private parking is available for residents and visitors. Material Information Property type: One-bedroom retirement apartment
