Description

Nestled on a traditional residential street in the sought-after Scotforth area of South Lancaster, this mid-Victorian terrace presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to make a mark through renovation. The property is conveniently located within walking distance to local amenities, including Booths supermarket and various takeaway options along the A6. Regular bus services provide easy access to Lancaster city centre, the train station, and the university, further enhancing its appeal to both families and professionals. The area is well-regarded for its schools and green spaces, making it a practical choice for families while also attracting strong rental demand from students and young professionals. With the A6 nearby facilitating straightforward connections to the M6 and beyond, this location offers excellent commuting options towards Preston and the Lake District. This two-bedroom terrace features solid proportions with significant potential for value enhancement. The front living room boasts hardwood-effect flooring paired with a decorative period-style fireplace that serves as an attractive focal point. Moving through the home, one finds a spacious kitchen equipped with older Shaker-style wood-effect units and ample worktop space—ideal for buyers wishing to redesign according to their personal taste. To the rear of the property, a single-glazed sunroom/conservatory opens onto an enclosed yard that includes a stone storage shed and gated access to the back lane. Upstairs, you'll find a generously sized main bedroom spanning across the width of the house, complemented by a second bedroom with views over the rear. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite and includes an extractor fan. The home reflects years of careful ownership but is ready for modernization, offering ample scope for updates in areas such as the kitchen, bathroom, and electrical systems. This presents an appealing opportunity for landlords, investors, or owner-occupiers looking to personalize their living space over time while potentially increasing its value in a market that shows promise. With predominantly uPVC double glazing throughout and recent servicing of the Worcester gas boiler—which comes complete with a gas safety certificate—this property stands ready to be transformed into your ideal home or investment asset.
