Summary - 16 WENSLEY DRIVE LANCASTER LA1 2JA
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Rare large garden with outbuildings and bay views, ideal for families and hobbyists..
Three-bedroom semi-detached home with spacious lounge-diner
Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a rare rear garden and versatile outbuildings. The landscaped, sloping garden has two dedicated patio/entertaining areas, mature planting and panoramic views towards Morecambe Bay — a strong lifestyle selling point for outdoor entertaining and family use. Three powered outstore rooms currently serve as workshop, gym and utility space and could suit hobbyists or home working.
Inside, the property is well laid-out with a porch, bright lounge-diner with garden access, and a compact, efficient kitchen. There are three good-sized bedrooms, a white family bathroom and a fully boarded loft with Velux accessed by a pull-down ladder — useful extra storage or occasional workspace. Practical features include double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating and off-street parking.
Notable negatives are honest and important: the exterior and some internal elements are dated and will need modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. The house is a post‑war build with assumed uninsulated cavity walls, so upgrade work (insulation, energy-efficiency measures) may be required to reduce running costs. The area scores as deprived with above-average crime rates, which prospective buyers should factor into their decision.
This property will suit families or buyers wanting a spacious garden, hobby space and easy access to local schools, bus routes and Lancaster city centre. Priced to reflect the need for some updating, it represents good potential for buyers who value outdoor space and are prepared to invest in improving energy efficiency and cosmetic condition.
