Location
Westbourne Drive is one of Lancaster’s most prestigious residential addresses, known for its mature trees, considerable homes and quietly tucked-away setting within Fairfield. It has that rare mix of privacy and practicality, where the approach feels calm and established, yet the city centre, Lancaster train station and everyday amenities are all within easy reach.
Fairfield Nature Reserve is just around the corner, giving residents immediate access to green open space, walking routes and a lovely break from city life. The wider area remains popular with families, professionals and buyers looking for a more established part of the city. This is a location with real reputation. Quiet, leafy and well placed, without feeling disconnected.
Property description
Wingates is a home with scale, flexibility and exciting future potential, set on a generous plot on one of Lancaster’s most admired residential drives. With significant planning permission already in place for an extension, it offers buyers the chance to modernise, adapt and create a home that fully makes the most of its setting. Sitting well back from the road behind a large lawned front garden, with mature planting, a long driveway and a detached garage, it has an attractive sense of arrival that feels increasingly hard to find so close to Lancaster city centre.
The side entrance opens into a small porch and then into the central hallway, where the ground-floor accommodation is arranged in a clear and flexible layout. The living room is an impressive, well-proportioned space, with a wide bay window framing the front garden and mature greenery beyond. It is a calm, comfortable room with neutral décor and plenty of space for both relaxed evenings and family gatherings.
The kitchen diner sits to the rear and is a good-sized room, fitted with blue and grey cabinetry, wood-effect work surfaces and space for appliances, while still allowing room for casual dining. From the hallway, there is also a substantial under-stairs cupboard, providing useful storage for coats, shoes, household items and everyday essentials.
Also on the ground floor is a generous double bedroom, giving the home valuable flexibility. It could work well as a bedroom, guest room, dining room, snug or home office. A white three-piece bathroom with bath and overhead shower completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, there are two further double bedrooms, both with pleasant leafy outlooks across the gardens and neighbouring mature trees. The main bedroom is particularly generous and includes useful storage, while the second is also a comfortable double, making the first floor feel balanced and practical. Both rooms feel light and calm, with soft neutral décor. A modern first-floor shower room, finished with neutral tiling, a white suite and chrome heated towel rail, adds further practicality and makes the layout work well for family life, visiting guests or buyers wanting bedroom and bathroom space across both floors.
Outside, the gardens are a major part of the appeal, with generous lawned areas to both the front and rear. The south-westerly facing front garden is open, green and well screened by mature planting, creating an attractive approach and making the most of the afternoon and evening light. To the rear, the north-easterly facing garden is large, enclosed and mainly laid to lawn, with established boundaries and a patio area for sitting out. Together, the two gardens give the home a wonderful sense of openness, greenery and future potential. Combined with the approved substantial extension plans, this is a rare opportunity to take a well-positioned home and shape it into something truly special.
