Badgers Wood is situated within a secluded private development on Brettargh Drive, nestled in the sought-after Haverbreaks area of Lancaster. This established neighbourhood is well-regarded for its tranquility and spaciousness, while still providing convenient access to the city centre, university, hospital, and major roadways. The home's elevated position offers picturesque views across Lancaster and towards the breathtaking Lakeland Hills, ensuring a unique connection to both nature and urban life, all while maintaining a serene environment.
The property occupies an impressive plot of around 0.61 acres, boasting a remarkable level of privacy uncommon in such a desirable locale. Surrounded by mature foliage and boundary landscaping, the house enjoys a sheltered atmosphere complemented by ample driveway parking that allows for easy navigation and separation from neighbouring residences. The expanse of gardens presents considerable space for potential landscaping or outdoor enhancements, along with striking elevated views that further amplify the property's appeal.
This substantial detached residence spans approximately 2,863 sq ft and features an intriguing layout with significant potential for renovation. The L-shaped design includes a notably large principal reception room that stretches close to 30 feet, featuring expansive windows that flood the space with natural light and frame stunning vistas. With four sizable bedrooms and an overall sense of openness rarely encountered in similar homes, this property is primed for reconfiguration or modernisation to meet individual tastes.
In addition to the existing home’s refurbishment prospects, there is also an exciting development opportunity; Lancaster City Council has granted Permission in Principle for demolishing the current structure to construct two new detached homes (Planning Application Reference: 25/01204/PIP). This presents investors or prospective homeowners with the chance to embark on a high-quality redevelopment project in one of Lancaster's most appealing residential areas.
Currently vacant and awaiting its next chapter, opportunities like Badgers Wood—combining expansive grounds, stunning views, privacy, and future development potential—are exceptionally rare on the market.
