1 Bedroom Flat, Laurel Bank, Westbourne Road | Leafy Green Period City Apartment

Laurel Bank, Lancaster
The Location

Laurel Bank is one of Lancaster’s most admired addresses, quietly positioned just off Cannon Hill and known for its private, leafy setting. This is a location that feels tucked away from the pace of the city, with mature trees, elegant period buildings and a calm residential atmosphere, yet Lancaster city centre is still only a short walk away. It is especially appealing to professionals, downsizers and buyers who want character and greenery without giving up convenience. Lancaster Castle, the train station, independent cafés, restaurants, shops and the city’s cultural venues are all within easy reach, while nearby walking routes and established green surroundings give everyday life here a more relaxed, tucked-away feel.

Property Information

Set within a handsome period building of just three homes, 3B Laurel Bank is a ground floor apartment with the sort of proportions and character that are increasingly hard to find. High ceilings, ornate cornicing, deep skirting boards, large sash-style windows and feature fireplaces all work together to create a home with real presence, while the layout remains practical and easy to live in.

The apartment opens into a small entrance hallway, which gives access through to the principal rooms. The living room is the standout space, an impressively generous room where the bay window draws in natural light and frames the leafy outlook beyond. The solid wood flooring, deep blue tones and period fireplace create a room that feels both refined and comfortable, equally suited to quiet evenings, working from home or having friends over.

The kitchen sits separately and has the space to cook, dine and enjoy the room properly, rather than treating it as simply functional. Gloss cabinetry, dark worktops, a gas hob and integrated oven provide a smart modern finish, while the feature fireplace, high ceiling and decorative plasterwork keep the room firmly connected to the character of the building.

The bedroom continues the feeling of space, offering far more than a standard sleeping area. There is plenty of room for a large bed, wardrobes and seating, with a tall window looking out towards greenery. The period fireplace and ceiling detailing add depth and personality, making it feel more like a peaceful suite than a standard bedroom. The bathroom is fitted with a bath, WC and glass basin, finished in light tiling with a heated towel rail.

Outside, the private front garden is a real asset. Landscaped and mature, it gives the apartment its own green space to enjoy, whether that is morning coffee, a quiet read or simply the pleasure of having nature immediately outside the window.
