Summary - BURNHAM, LANCASTER, HALTON LA2 6LP
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious plot and original features, ideal for a renovation project.
Large detached 1930s house with extensive private riverside gardens
An impressive detached period house occupying a large, private plot with frontage onto the River Lune. Built in the 1930s and retaining many original features — fireplaces, leaded windows, tessellated tiles and an exceptional period bathroom — the property is a rare opportunity to create a bespoke riverside home. Practical benefits include B4RN full-fibre broadband, off-street parking and a detached block of five garages with additional forecourt parking.
Most living accommodation is on the ground floor, with two generous reception rooms, a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, plus a second double bedroom on the first floor reached via a side lobby staircase. There is useful undercroft storage, a covered outdoor seating area and tiered, well-established gardens that are private and south-facing; careful landscaping would restore river views and potential river access for paddlesports. Heating is electric-based with an air-source heat pump and warm air system; the central heating boiler was installed in 2012.
The house requires renovation and modernisation throughout. Cosmetic and systems work will be needed to bring the property up to contemporary living standards — kitchen, bathroom, decoration and likely electrical and heating updates. There is a medium flood risk for the area which prospective buyers should factor into insurance and any renovation plans. The drive is privately owned and shared maintenance responsibilities apply; three garages are informally let for a small annual sum.
This home will suit a buyer looking for a rewarding project: period-enthusiasts, downsizers seeking a large, single-level layout with scope to adapt, or buyers who value an exceptional riverside location close to Lancaster. The property offers strong potential for value-add through thoughtful renovation and landscaping, but requires time, budget and planning to realise that potential.
