Location
Lancaster is the historic county town of Lancashire and a university city, home to Lancaster University and the University of Cumbria, with a district population of approximately 143,000. The city sits adjacent to junctions 33 and 34 of the M6 and on the West Coast Main Line, with direct rail services to Manchester (55 minutes), Glasgow (2 hours 4 minutes) and London (2 hours 40 minutes).
Fleet House occupies a prominent corner position on New Road at the heart of the city centre, directly opposite Lancaster bus station and approximately 400 m from the railway station. Church Street, Market Street and the city’s principal retail and leisure offer are a short walk away, yet the building is set back behind its own landscaped courtyard, providing a calm and professional working environment.
Description
Fleet House is a building of genuine character, successfully blending traditional charm with contemporary design. A traditional stone frontage to New Road, with sash windows beneath a pitched slate roof, is complemented by a modern extension and a striking full height glazed elevation that draws natural light deep into the building.
The building is approached via stone steps and a landscaped courtyard, with the entrance sheltered beneath a glazed canopy. It opens into an impressive reception, where a sculptural curved staircase rises against full height glazing, with views across the surrounding period streetscape.
