Welcome to Africa Drive

Africa Drive is a superb modern home built by Barratt Homes. This stylish apartment was the show home for the site and is located just off St Georges Quay, One of Lancaster‘s most fashionable and in demand areas.

Live here because you want easy access to the city centre yet you want to the enjoy the peaceful views as you enjoy Riverside walks. You‘ll find great transport links with a bus stop close by and the train station less than a 10 minute walk.

Inside Africa Drive

The main private entrance to the front of the building opens up into a small hallway and there are stairs leading you up to the first floor level. There is space here to hang your coats and take off your shoes before stepping through to the lounge.

Once you are in the main living area you will see there is space to lounge and dine. The room offers a dual aspect over both the front and rear of the home with a Juliet balcony to the front with French doors which is a great addition and will come in handy during the summer months. Just off the dining area is the fully fitted kitchen. This modern and stylish room has ample storage and work space to three sides. The owners have included an electric oven, fridge freezer and a washing machine for you also.

The integral hallway has a built in storage cupboard along with a hatch which opens up to the loft area and from here you can access both the bedroom and bathroom.

The bedroom is a great sized double room which looks out over the front of the home and down Africa Drive. There is plenty of space for all the expected bedroom furniture we all have and the decor is neutral, crisp and clean. Tenants will also find the bathroom has been fitted with a three piece suite in white which offers a shower above the bath to give the best of both worlds. The room has been partially tiled and has a frosted double glazed window to the rear elevation.

To the front of the home is the main entrance and also access to all the meters for the home can be easily gained. Once you are round to the rear you will find yourself in the communal car park which offers two allocated parking bays for you to use. There is also a private storage room for you to use which has power and light and would be ideal for bikes or just for general bits and pieces.

Reposit Nil Deposit Scheme

Weve partnered with a company called Reposit who offer an alternative to paying a cash deposit. By using Reposit you can save a lot of money upfront as you will only need to pay the Reposit fee of £150.00 instead of a cash deposit which will be £750.00. The Reposit fee is not refundable at the end of the tenancy. You can use the money you save to spend on something you actually want!

Please note that just like a normal deposit, you are still liable for any valid, end of tenancy charges. The difference with Reposit is that you keep control of your cash and only pay these if they actually occur at the end of your tenancy, rather than paying at the start. If you stay beyond a 12 month period, a £30 charge will be payable to reposit once a year to continue the cover.

This is optional and a normal deposit scheme is also available. Reposit is subject to certain referencing criteria and may not be granted following referencing.
