Property Information

Built in 1937 and remaining within the same family for more than 60 years, this traditional bay-fronted home offers generous accommodation and represents an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to modernise a substantial property to their own taste.

The ground floor begins with an entrance vestibule leading into a central hallway. There are two particularly generous reception rooms, providing plenty of flexibility for family life. The living room features a wide bay window which brings excellent natural light into the space, while the separate dining room overlooks the rear garden and provides ample room for family dining and entertaining.

At the rear is a separate kitchen, fitted with a range of existing units and providing direct access outside. While ready for updating, it offers good potential for a buyer wanting to create a more contemporary kitchen suited to their own requirements.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, comprising two generous doubles and a well-proportioned single bedroom. The front double bedroom benefits from an attractive bay window, while the third bedroom would also work well as a nursery, dressing room or home office. A spacious bathroom with both a bath and separate shower enclosure completes the first floor.

The rear garden is a real feature of the home. Long and established, it combines lawn, mature shrubs, trees and planted borders to create a leafy outdoor space with considerable potential. There is plenty of room for seating, gardening and family use, with a pathway leading towards the rear service lane and detached garage.

The property has clearly been a much-loved family home but would now benefit from a programme of modernisation, including electrical rewiring. For buyers prepared to undertake the work, its generous proportions, traditional layout, sizeable garden and south Lancaster location provide an excellent foundation for a long-term family home.
