A well-located Victorian mid-terrace offering reliable rental income in Scotforth, close to Lancaster University and the city centre. The property is currently let for the 2025/26 academic year, producing an income of £25,920, and is sold freehold and chain-free — appealing for buy-to-let investors or landlords building a student portfolio.
Accommodation is arranged across three levels with four good-sized bedrooms, two modern shower rooms, two reception rooms and a large kitchen-diner leading to a private rear yard and outhouse. The bay-fronted façade, high ceilings on some levels and period stonework give the house character while the layout supports shared living and communal space for tenants.
Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing and on-street parking. The plot is small and low-maintenance, and the property is in a comfortable, low-crime neighbourhood with excellent transport links on a main bus route to the university.
Buyers should note the terrace was built c.1900–1929 with stone walls likely uninsulated and may require future improvement works for energy performance. On-street parking only, and the compact plot limits extension potential. Overall, this is a straightforward, income-producing student house with clear potential for steady returns and targeted, cost-effective upgrades.
