Set over three floors in Lancaster city centre, this modern three-bedroom townhouse offers practical city living with parking — a rare combination at this price. The main living space is an open-plan kitchen–diner on the first floor, creating a flexible social hub for dining and relaxing. The top-floor master bedroom includes a Juliette balcony and en-suite shower; a further double and a ground-floor bedroom provide versatile sleeping or home‑working space. A handy utility room, ground-floor W.C. and a paved south-facing rear yard add everyday convenience.
Externally the house benefits from an integrated garage and private driveway — valuable in a central location — plus a small paved yard suitable for bike storage or a compact seating area. The property is newly renovated and neutrally presented throughout, ready for immediate occupancy and marketed chain-free on a freehold title. Annual service charge is £650 and council tax is moderate.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: heating is electric storage heaters and the EPC is rated E, so running costs may be higher than modern gas systems; the home was built c.2003–2006 with assumed cavity insulation. The wider neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan mix of students and professionals and the immediate area records very high crime and higher deprivation measures, factors to weigh for families or long-term owner-occupiers. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent.
This will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a city-centre rental opportunity with parking, low maintenance newly renovated interiors and strong local amenities. Consider the heating efficiency and local crime profile when comparing ongoing costs and intended use.
