This well-presented two-bedroom mid-terrace on Cavendish Street is a strong option for a first-time buyer seeking a roomy starter home close to Lancaster city centre. The house offers generous living space across two reception rooms, a practical kitchen, and a large cellar/utility that adds useful storage or conversion potential. A brand-new gas central heating system with a 10-year guarantee reduces immediate maintenance worry and improves heating efficiency.
Situated within walking distance of shops, schools and transport links, the property’s Victorian stone façade and bay-windowed lounge give genuine period character. The small rear yard and two brick storage sheds provide outdoor and practical space for bicycles, bins or a compact seating area. The freehold tenure, low council tax band and chain-free sale make for a straightforward purchase.
There are a few material points to note: the building fabric is original (pre-1900) with traditionally constructed stone walls that are likely uninsulated, and the double glazing install date is unknown. The plot is small and the accommodation includes a single bathroom and a compact kitchen, so expect modest room sizes and limited garden space. Article 4 compliance affects change-of-use permissions in the area—use as a let or HMO is possible but subject to local planning controls.
Overall, this terraced house suits a buyer wanting immediate occupancy with scope to personalise and improve energy performance over time. Its successful letting history also keeps future rental or investment options open, while the new boiler and central location ease day-to-day living.
