This traditional stone-built mid-terrace on Beech Street offers an affordable, chain-free entry to Lancaster’s city life. Inside, an open-plan kitchen/living room creates a bright, social ground floor while two first-floor bedrooms and a single bathroom keep the layout compact and practical. The property’s period façade and sash-style windows retain character alongside recent double glazing and gas central heating.
Outside, the very small rear patio yard and brick outbuilding provide useful storage and gated access to the service lane, but there is no garden for play or landscaping. The house is best suited to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a low-maintenance urban home, or investors looking for a city-centre let given its proximity to Lancaster train station and local amenities.
Buyers should note the property sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime levels and a small overall footprint; the interior and plot are modest. The EPC is D, and while the construction is robust sandstone/limestone with internal insulation, prospective purchasers should arrange a survey to confirm condition and any improvement costs.
Overall this compact, freehold terrace is a straightforward, low-cost opportunity to move into Lancaster city centre without chain delay. It delivers period charm and convenience but requires acceptance of limited outdoor space and the local area challenges.
