Summary - 38 GARDNER ROAD LANCASTER LA1 2DB
1 bed 1 bath House
Affordable starter home near shops and transport.
Freehold mid-terrace with one bedroom and office space
A compact, traditional mid-terrace in Lancaster offering an affordable step onto the property ladder. The house has a spacious lounge, a modern kitchen, one double bedroom plus a second room used as an office, and a family bathroom. A small enclosed rear yard with gated access provides private outdoor space.
This freehold home is practical for a first-time buyer or a landlord seeking a city-centre buy-to-let. The property benefits from double glazing and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for working from home. Local shops, bus links and a range of schools lie within walking distance.
Buyers should note the compact overall size (approximately 385 sq ft) and very small plot. The building dates from 1900–1929 and external walls are sandstone or limestone with assumed no cavity insulation, so additional insulation or other energy-efficiency works may be required. The wider area is classified as very deprived and has higher crime levels, which is reflected in local market dynamics.
Priced competitively with Band A council tax, the house suits someone looking for value, short-term rental income, or a modest renovation project to increase comfort and long-term value. A virtual viewing is available for an initial inspection without visiting in person.
