Summary - CARUS LODGE SLYNE LANCASTER LA2 6BL
4 bed 2 bath House
Spacious historic manor with 1.4 acres and countryside views.
Grade II listed Gothic Revival house with original period features
Carus Lodge is an imposing Grade II listed Gothic Revival house dating from the 1830s, set in about 1.4 acres of mature gardens and paddock. The property retains many period features — high ceilings, marble fireplaces, mullion windows, original library and cellar — and offers exceptionally large principal rooms arranged over multiple floors. Its scale and historic character will appeal to buyers seeking a country manor close to Lancaster.
The house has practical estate features: a detached double garage, greenhouse, pond, orchard and an approximate one-acre paddock suitable for small-scale grazing. The principal bedroom includes a five-piece ensuite and dressing room; other bedrooms retain original fireplaces and there is generous storage in the cellar and former butler’s pantry. Good transport links to Lancaster, local schools and countryside walks add everyday convenience.
Important considerations: the property is listed and that status will cause planning and alteration restrictions and potential extra costs. The building’s stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, the heating is oil-fired with associated running and servicing costs, and drainage is via a shared septic system. Carus Lodge was divided into multiple dwellings in the early 2000s and shared driveway maintenance is split between properties — buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance and specialist conservation works.
This house is best suited to families or buyers seeking a restoration or lifestyle property who value heritage, space and privacy. It offers strong potential for sympathetic upgrading rather than wholesale alteration, and rewards buyers prepared to invest in conservation and modern energy upgrades to balance comfort with historic character.
