2 bedroom flat for sale

Over 56s and Retired Only

Location

Welcome to Barton Gardens.

Barton Gardens is a peaceful cul-de-sac situated in the popular Bowerham area, just south of Lancaster city centre. The development is designed for the over-56s and retired residents only, offering a calm and well-maintained setting with easy access to local amenities.

Shops, supermarkets, and everyday services can be found close by in Bowerham and along Scotforth Road, while Lancaster city centre provides a wider choice of shopping, leisure, and cultural options. Williamson Park, with its gardens, woodland walks, and views across the city, is within walking distance. The Lancaster Canal is also nearby for those who enjoy scenic walks or cycle routes.

Public transport links are regular and reliable, connecting the area to the city centre, Lancaster University, the hospital, and the M6 motorway, making it a convenient base for both day-to-day life and travel further afield.
