Waterside, Lancaster, LA1

Location

Waterside is one of Lancaster’s best-known apartment developments, sitting beside the River Lune and just moments from the Millennium Bridge. It gives you that useful balance of riverside setting and city-centre convenience, with St George’s Quay, cafés, restaurants and bars close by, while Sainsbury’s is practically on the doorstep for everyday essentials. Lancaster bus station is within easy reach, as are the city centre shops, cultural venues and Lancaster railway station. It is a particularly practical location for professionals, downsizers and anyone wanting to enjoy the city without relying heavily on the car, while riverside walks provide an easy escape from the pace of the centre.

The Property

A spacious two-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms, lift access and a south-facing balcony, 15 Waterside offers a layout that works particularly well for modern city living. Positioned on the second floor within the Borrowdale building, the apartment has been owned by the same family since new in 2002 and forms part of a development where only two apartments occupy each floor.

The entrance hallway provides a clear sense of separation between the living and sleeping accommodation. The lounge diner is the standout space: generous enough to create distinct areas for relaxing, dining and home working without the room ever feeling crowded. French doors draw in plenty of natural light and open onto the south-facing balcony, where there is space for a small table and chairs and a pleasant place to sit out when the weather allows.

The kitchen sits separately off the hallway and is arranged in a practical U-shaped layout, with beech-style cabinetry, stone-effect worktops, integrated oven and hob, and good preparation and storage space.

There are two double bedrooms, making the apartment equally suitable for a couple, sharers or someone wanting a dedicated guest room or home office. The larger main bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is served by the main bathroom, which has a white three-piece suite.

The apartment also benefits from a recently installed PulsaCoil water-heating cylinder, fitted in February 2026, helping to modernise one of the property’s key practical systems. Externally, residents have permit parking within the development, while lift and stair access make the apartment easy to live with on a day-to-day basis.
