2 bed terraced house for sale

Emerson Street, Lancaster LA1

Location
Emerson Street sits on a traditional residential street in the ever-popular Scotforth area of South Lancaster. From here, daily life is easy: Booths supermarket and the nearby petrol station are only a short walk away, along with convenience stores, takeaways and other local amenities on the A6. Regular bus routes run along the main road, giving quick access into Lancaster city centre, the train station and the university.

The area is well regarded for its schools, making it a practical choice for families as well as professionals. Green spaces and play areas are within easy reach, and the nearby A6 provides a straightforward route to the M6, opening up commuting options towards Preston, the Lakes and beyond. It’s a location that combines strong rental demand with long-term appeal for owner-occupiers.

Property overview
This mid-Victorian two-bedroom terrace offers solid proportions and great potential for those looking to add value. The front living room features hardwood-effect flooring and a period-style fireplace with tiled inset, creating a focal point for the space. Beyond, the kitchen is a good size with older Shaker-style wood-effect units, tiled splashbacks and ample worktop space – ideal for buyers wishing to re-design to their own taste.

To the rear, a small single-glazed sunroom/conservatory opens to the enclosed yard, which includes a useful stone store and gated access to the back lane.

Upstairs, the main bedroom spans the full width of the property, while the second bedroom overlooks the rear. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite and benefits from an extractor fan. Throughout, the décor reflects many years of careful ownership and would now benefit from some updating – including the kitchen, bathroom and electrics – offering a wonderful opportunity for landlords, investors or owner-occupiers to gradually modernise and make the home their own.
