This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Wolseley Street offers a straightforward, affordable route onto the property ladder or a compact buy-to-let opportunity. The house retains period character — stone façade, Victorian fireplace and cornicing — and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating. The cellar adds storage or conversion potential, and an enclosed rear yard provides private outdoor space.
The interior will suit someone prepared to modernise: rooms are average-sized (approximately 636 sq ft total) and some updating is needed to maximise comfort and value. The building dates from the early 20th century and external stone walls are likely uninsulated, so consider insulation and energy-efficiency improvements when planning works.
Location is practical and well connected. The property sits within walking distance of shops, bus and rail links, schools and local amenities — broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent. Council Tax Band A and freehold tenure help keep running costs low.
Because the wider area is classed as deprived with a strong student presence, buyers should weigh rental demand and tenant mix if buying to let. For a first-time buyer willing to invest time and modest renovation budget, this property represents accessible entry in Lancaster with scope to add value.
