This recently overhauled three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a contemporary finish with period character, ideal for growing families or professionals wanting easy access to Lancaster city centre. The front reception room benefits from a large bay window and pleasant views across the city, while the open-plan kitchen-diner at the rear opens through new French doors to a manageable paved garden — a practical entertaining space.
The renovation is comprehensive: new wiring, plumbing, windows, doors, insulation, plastering, flooring and a modern bathroom and kitchen with integrated appliances. Ready-to-move-in condition and sold freehold with no onward chain, the property suits buyers who want a finished home without immediate works. Fast fibre broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming.
There are some practical considerations to note. The plot and garden are modest in size, and the partitioned garage is small — useful for storage or a workshop but not as a full vehicle garage. The house was built in the 1930s and, while improvements include loft insulation, the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation; further retrofit could reduce energy costs.
Location strengths include schools within walking distance, nearby green spaces and riverside walks, plus convenient shops and public transport. The wider area is characterized by ageing urban communities and blue-collar terraces; local crime and deprivation indicators are average for the city, so buyers should view local streets to ensure the neighbourhood meets their expectations.
