Characterful two-bed mid-terrace with basement room — chain-free and ripe for refurbishment.
Chain-free freehold terrace in central Lancaster
Set close to Lancaster city centre, this Victorian mid-terrace offers character features and clear scope to add value. Two double bedrooms, a bay-fronted lounge and a dining room with a stone fireplace and inset multi-fuel stove give the house immediate charm and practical heating options. A lower-ground basement room provides flexible space for an office, hobby room or extra living area.
The property is offered freehold and chain-free, an advantage for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors wanting a straightforward purchase. At about 647 sq ft, the layout is compact but sensible for city living. There is a low-maintenance rear yard with a powered stone storage shed and easy access to local amenities, schools and transport on foot.
The house does need renovation and modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating, potential kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and general refurbishment are likely. The stone walls are original with assumed no insulation; double glazing is present but the install date is unknown. These points identify both the work required and the opportunity to improve energy performance and value.
Overall this is a practical purchase for a first-time buyer who wants character and proximity to the city, or an investor targeting a rental in a popular area. Budget for renovation and consider insulating the solid stone walls and checking glazing and services when surveying. The very small plot and terraced position limit outdoor space, but the location and price create scope for a rewarding project.
