Set on Avondale Road in sought-after Bowerham, this Victorian mid-terrace balances period character with everyday practicality. The wide, bay-fronted living room with high ceilings and feature fireplace flows into an open-plan dining area — an inviting social space for families or sharers. The modern shaker-style kitchen and neutral décor mean the house is ready to move into, yet still offers scope to personalise.
Upstairs are three bedrooms: two comfortable doubles and a smaller single ideal as a nursery, home office or guest room. The bathroom is a generous three-piece with a shower over the bath. Practical features include a Worcester gas combi boiler and UPVC double glazing throughout, helping keep running costs predictable.
Outside, the property sits on a small plot with a low-maintenance rear yard and gated access to the service lane — easy upkeep and secure bin storage. Bowerham’s amenities, strong schools and direct transport links to Lancaster city centre, university and the M6 make this a convenient location for families, professionals and investors seeking reliable rental demand.
Notable considerations: the home would benefit from some modernisation in places and the original cavity walls are uninsulated (as built), so there is scope to improve thermal efficiency. There is a single bathroom and limited outdoor space, and council tax sits above average. These factors are reflected in the price and present straightforward opportunities for value-adding improvements.
