This stone-fronted mid-terrace offers a compact, characterful starter home or rental in central Lancaster. The layout delivers a through lounge to dining/sitting room, fitted kitchen, cellar and two first-floor bedrooms with a bathroom — practical space for a small family or investor. Gas central heating and uPVC double glazing are already fitted.
Set just off St Leonard’s Gate, the property is a short walk to the city centre, canal, cycle routes, rail and bus links. The paved rear yard is low-maintenance and gated to a service alley; on-street parking serves the street. Chain-free freehold tenure helps speed a purchase.
The area is lively and popular with students and young buyers, which supports rental potential but also means the neighbourhood is classified as high crime and generally deprived. The house is small in footprint and would benefit from modernization to unlock its full value — cosmetic upgrades and potential reconfiguration could significantly improve living quality and rental returns.
Buyers should note the narrow street frontage and small plot size. This is a pragmatic opportunity for a first-time buyer wanting a central location or an investor seeking a straightforward let in a high-demand student area.
