Set on a generous plot on Barley Cop Lane, this three-bedroom semi-detached family home combines period charm with practical updates. Two reception rooms retain original fireplaces and hardwood floors, while the extended kitchen and modern UPVC doors make everyday living straightforward. Outside, a long driveway with space for four cars and a detached garage sits alongside a large rear garden with terrace, balcony, lawn, cherry tree and productive vegetable plot — ideal for children and keen gardeners.
Practical improvements include a 2018 boiler, double glazing throughout, driveway electrics ready for EV charging and outdoor taps. Upstairs offers two doubles and a single bedroom, plus a bathroom updated in 2018. The loft has good head height and clear potential for conversion (subject to permissions), which would add valuable living space.
Buyers should note some material points: heating is via electric storage heaters (main fuel: electricity), which can be costly compared with gas; parts of the interior will benefit from cosmetic updating; the loft conversion requires planning and safe access; and the area records higher-than-average crime levels, which may affect insurance and perceptions. Council tax is low and the property is freehold, making it straightforward for families or investors seeking renovation upside close to Lancaster city amenities and schools.
This home suits families seeking outdoor space and parking near good schools, or buyers after a period property with scope to add value. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the plot, internal proportions and conversion potential.
