Summary - 2 DE VITRE STREET LANCASTER LA1 1QU
3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Three-storey, three-bed renovation opportunity near Lancaster city centre.
Victorian stone end-terrace with strong street presence
A three-storey, three-bedroom Victorian end-terrace close to Lancaster city centre, offered as a straightforward modernisation project. The property benefits from a newer roof (re-slated around five years ago), mains gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002, reducing immediate major-expenditure needs. Its corner position and stone facade give genuine period character and street presence.
Internally the layout is practical: two reception rooms, kitchen and shower room on the ground floor, two double bedrooms on the first floor and a further double on the second. The house totals about 861 sq ft and sits on a small city plot with a modest rear garden and on-street residents parking. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
Important negatives are clear: the property needs renovation throughout and presents dated fixtures and finishes. The wider area is a cosmopolitan, student-focused neighbourhood with very high recorded crime and is classed as deprived — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers but which may suit landlords targeting rental demand from students and city centre workers. Walls are original stone with assumed minimal insulation, so buyers should budget for thermal upgrades.
This home suits an investor or buyer who wants to add value through sensible refurbishment, or a first-time buyer comfortable with a project. Its location within walking distance of shops, transport and local schools gives rental and resale appeal once modernised.
