Description

This two-bedroom stone-built terrace in Skerton is described as requiring modernisation throughout. The ground floor has a front living room with a central fireplace, a staircase with storage beneath, and a rear kitchen with fitted units and space for freestanding appliances. A ground-floor extension contains a shower room and the wall-mounted combi boiler. Upstairs are two bedrooms. The larger front room has fitted wardrobes and shelving, while the smaller rear bedroom has a built-in storage cupboard. Double glazing is installed, and the property has an EPC rating of F. Outside, an enclosed rear yard leads to the rear alley, with on-street parking available. The house is close to local shops, schools and bus services, with Ryelands Park and Lancaster city centre within reach. The location also provides access towards Morecambe and the M6. The property is offered as a renovation project for a buyer prepared to update its existing accommodation.

54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £100,000, this two-bedroom stone terrace is attractively priced at £179/sqf against a local average of £229/sqf, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The straightforward layout, ground-floor extension and small rear yard give a project buyer a useful starting point, while the fireplace and built-in storage offer character and practical features to work with.

The interiors call for a heavy, multi-room programme: dated finishes, tired flooring and a damaged ceiling area with loose material all need attention, alongside a substantial update to the kitchen and shower room. Double glazing and the intact appearance of the visible stone frontage are positives, but purchase and works costs look tight against local benchmarks, so the project needs careful budgeting and a realistic plan.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the ground-floor layout around the kitchen and rear extension to create a more contemporary kitchen and shower-room arrangement.
  • Refresh the living room while making use of its fireplace focal point, then renew finishes and flooring across the two bedrooms.
  • Make the most of the fitted storage and compact rear yard in a practical two-bedroom home close to local amenities and Ryelands Park.

Key risks

  • The damaged ceiling area with loose material needs investigation and making-good before finishes are renewed.
  • Worn and dated interiors across several rooms, plus updates to the kitchen and shower room, make this a heavy programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for a coordinated, multi-room rebuild and realistic time for the work.
  • Purchase and works costs look tight against local benchmarks, leaving limited room for budget overruns.
