3 bed detached house for sale

Station Road, Caton LA2

Location

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac just off Station Road, Station House holds a unique place in Caton’s history. Once home to the village’s Station Master, this distinctive building dates back to the mid-19th century and originally served the former Lancaster to Wennington railway line until the station’s closure in 1966.

Today, the property enjoys a peaceful, leafy setting just moments from the Lune Valley cycle path - a beautiful trail that runs along the old railway line between Lancaster and Hornby. This is an ideal location for those who enjoy walking, cycling and the outdoors, with the river Lune and open countryside on your doorstep. Caton’s village centre, with its shops, pubs and amenities, is only a short stroll away, and Lancaster is just a few miles to the west, easily reached by road or bus.

Property Overview

Stepping inside, you can instantly sense the character and history of this home. The layout is spacious and versatile, with plenty of scope for modernisation and redesign. The entrance leads into a generous bay-fronted lounge with exposed beams and a substantial stone fireplace fitted with a copper canopy - a focal point that hints at the property’s heritage.

The kitchen and dining area are positioned to the rear, offering oak-fronted cabinetry, space for appliances and direct access to a bright conservatory overlooking the gardens. There are three bedrooms in total - two generous doubles and a smaller single - with the main bedroom benefitting from a fitted wardrobe range and an en-suite shower room. A further bathroom, separate WC and useful utility space complete the accommodation.

Throughout, the home retains many original details, from timber doors to deep window sills, but it now requires full renovation - offering the chance to reimagine this unique property to suit your own style.

Outside, the grounds are extensive and well-screened by mature trees and hedging, providing a high degree of privacy. There’s a double garage and a gravelled driveway providing ample off-street parking, while the gardens extend to both the front and rear, with plenty of space for landscaping or potential extension (subject to consent).
