This two-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian house on Olive Road offers an affordable entrance to Lancaster’s property market. The layout includes a spacious through lounge, a modern kitchen, two double bedrooms and a ground-floor bathroom — a straightforward, liveable home for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Externally the property has a small enclosed rear yard with gated access and a garden store room. On-street parking is available without a permit. The building’s stone construction provides period character but the walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so upgrading thermal performance could reduce running costs and improve comfort.
The location is practical: local shops, bus links and a mix of primary and secondary schools are all within walking distance. Council Tax is Band A (very cheap) and there is no flood risk, which helps running-cost predictability. Note the wider area is classified as deprived and local crime levels are above average — important for buyers to consider when assessing suitability and rental prospects.
Overall this compact home is best suited to someone seeking an affordable starter property or a landlord looking for a straightforward let. It requires only modest improvements to increase comfort and energy efficiency, offering scope to add value for those willing to invest in basic upgrades.
