Description

This semi-detached home is situated in the desirable neighborhood of South Lancaster, known for its family-friendly atmosphere and proximity to essential amenities. The location boasts a mix of local shops, larger supermarkets, and several schools, including reputable institutions like Lancaster Royal Grammar School and Ripley St Thomas. Additionally, green spaces such as Williamson Park offer recreational opportunities with scenic views and walking paths, while the nearby canal provides a charming route for both walking and cycling. With easy access to public transportation along the A6 and convenient road links via the Bay Gateway to the M6 motorway, commuting to Lancaster, Galgate, or further afield is straightforward. The property itself presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation and personal customization. While it has been well maintained over the years, its interior decor is somewhat dated, making it an ideal candidate for modernization according to contemporary tastes. Entering the home, you are greeted by a spacious hallway that leads into a generous living room featuring a bay window that adds character while allowing natural light to flood in. The dining room at the rear is inviting and brightened by large windows and a glazed roof that overlook the garden. The adjoining kitchen includes fitted units and a pantry cupboard, along with an external door leading directly to the outdoor space. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms: two ample double rooms and one larger-than-average single room. Notably, the front bedroom offers pleasant distant views toward Lancaster Castle. The bathroom retains its original three-piece suite—highlighted by a classic cast iron bath—providing further scope for updates. Outside, the west-facing rear garden is not overlooked and comprises established landscaping with mature hedges and a lawn area alongside practical features like a shed and water butt. The front garden is paved with established rose bushes adding charm. Overall, this property holds significant potential for anyone looking to invest in an area that combines convenience with an inviting community atmosphere. With thoughtful renovations, it can become not only a comfortable home but also an asset in this sought-after location.
