The Pump House is a high-quality conversion of a historic Lancaster building, offering 35 private, modern studios designed for straightforward, independent living. It’s right by the city centre, so shops, cafés, nightlife, and transport links are all within easy reach.
Studios are fully furnished with a double bed, storage, an expandable study desk, shelving, blinds, and a private bathroom with shower, WC and wash basin. Each unit comes with its own fitted kitchenette, complete with a 2-ring ceramic hob, fridge/freezer, sink, and a dual air fryer. You get everything you need to cook, study, relax, and live on your own terms.
The location is practical. Lancaster’s train station is under a 10-minute walk away, and regular buses to Lancaster University and the University of Cumbria pass right by the building. River Lune walking routes are just around the corner if you want quiet time outdoors.
Shared spaces include a large communal kitchen and lounge with a wall-mounted TV, soft seating, dining space, and areas suitable for both studying and socialising. There’s also a games zone and an on-site laundry room with washing machines and dryers. Entry is fob-secured, with CCTV and 24-hour maintenance support.
The building uses energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting, smart thermostats, and sustainable materials, keeping things environmentally conscious without complicating your routine.
If you want a modern, private studio with strong city access and reliable amenities, The Pump House keeps things simple and comfortable.
