Summary - 20, Wharfedale Road LA1 5ND
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable entry with a sunny larger-than-average garden and renovation upside.
Three bedrooms in a 1930s semi-detached layout
A three-bedroom 1930s semi-detached home offering practical space and clear potential for a first-time buyer or investor. The house is well maintained and immaculate throughout but would benefit from modernising to unlock long-term value. Key recent work includes a first-floor wet room; the rest of the property retains period features and some dated fittings.
The layout is straightforward: entrance hall, cosy living room with gas fireplace, kitchen with large pantry, useful downstairs WC and three bedrooms upstairs. The property is compact (about 802 sq ft) but practical, with double glazing, a gas boiler and radiators. No flood risk and council tax is low.
Outside, the larger-than-average south-west facing rear garden is a standout asset, with gated side access and an open green beyond for extra privacy. The location is convenient — within walking distance of Lancaster city centre and the train station, with primary and secondary schools nearby and local shops and amenities close to hand.
Material considerations: the home is in a locality described as ageing urban communities and will benefit from cosmetic updating and some renovation to reach modern standards. Crime levels are average. This property suits buyers wanting an affordable entry into the area, those prepared to refurbish to personal taste, or landlords seeking rental income in a well-connected spot.
