Kershaw Drive, The Residence | Stylish Two-Bed Apartment in Lancaster’s Iconic Residence

Location

The Residence on Kershaw Drive offers a peaceful setting within one of Lancaster’s most distinctive historic conversions. Surrounded by landscaped grounds and tree-lined walkways, the development feels tucked away yet remains highly convenient. Local amenities are close at hand, including a Co-op store, doctors’ surgeries, cafés and takeaways along nearby Bowerham Road. Excellent schools such as Lancaster Royal Grammar School and Lancaster Girls’ Grammar School are also within easy reach, making the area popular with a range of buyers.

For leisure, Williamson Park is only a short walk away, offering woodland trails, the butterfly house and views from Ashton Memorial. Scenic walking and cycling routes lead towards Clougha Pike, the Lune Valley and the canal. Lancaster city centre, the train station and regular bus routes are all nearby, and the M6 can be reached easily for commuting further afield.

Property Overview

Stepping inside, this beautifully presented two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers modern living within one of Lancaster’s most prestigious settings. The open-plan living space is bright and generous, with tall windows, neutral décor and a layout that comfortably accommodates areas for lounging, dining and working. From here, French doors open onto a private balcony with views across the rooftops of The Residence and glimpses towards Ashton Memorial.

The kitchen is finished with cashmere gloss cabinetry, hardwood-effect worktops and a full range of integrated Neff appliances, including a gas hob, oven, fridge and freezer. Two hallway cupboards provide excellent storage — one housing the combination boiler and washer/dryer, the second containing the consumer unit.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned and attractively presented. The second bedroom sits just off the hallway and enjoys rooftop outlooks. The main bathroom features a modern three-piece suite with stylish tiling and a shower over the bath.

The primary bedroom is arranged over two levels, creating a unique and versatile layout. The lower level includes fitted wardrobes and access to the en-suite shower room, finished in warm sandy tones. A short flight of stairs leads to the main sleeping area, which has a series of high-level windows set beneath an elegant arch feature.
