3 bed terraced house for sale

West Street, Lancaster LA1

Location
West Street sits in the heart of Greaves, one of South Lancaster’s most consistently popular residential areas. It is particularly well regarded for its access to highly rated schools, including several with good and outstanding Ofsted reports, making it a strong choice for families. The area has a settled, residential feel, with traditional terraces and a good sense of community.

The property is also well placed for day-to-day convenience. Lancaster city centre is within comfortable walking distance, offering shops, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions. The Royal Lancaster Infirmary is close by, making the location especially appealing to hospital staff, while nearby bus routes and road links provide straightforward access around the city and beyond.

Property Description
From the front, the house presents well with a bay window and a recently replaced front door. Stepping inside, the hallway sets the tone with tiled flooring that runs throughout the ground floor. The original staircase has been retained, polished and kept in good condition, adding character to the space.

The front reception room, currently used as a dining room, features an original fireplace with iron surround and vintage tiled detail. The bay window brings in plenty of natural light and the décor is neutral. To the rear, the kitchen spans the full width of the property and is arranged in a practical zig-zag layout with a central island. Matt dark units are paired with wood-effect worktops, creating a modern but unfussy finish. There is a six-burner range cooker and a range of integrated appliances, with one cupboard housing the battery system for the solar panels.

A knock-through from the kitchen leads into the rear extension, which works well as an additional living space. This area is bright thanks to a large Velux skylight, along with French doors (replaced in 2025) and side windows overlooking the garden. The extension also benefits from Kingspan insulation above the ceiling, helping with year-round comfort.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms. The main bedroom sits to the front and includes fitted storage behind hardwood shaker-style sliding doors. The second front bedroom now accommodates the staircase to the loft, while the rear bedroom is a good-sized double with built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is finished in warm terracotta tones, with hardwood-effect aqua boarding and a rainfall shower, installed in June 2023. Above, the converted loft provides a generous additional space currently used as the main bedroom. It has a Velux window.

Outside, the rear garden is arranged in two sections. Directly outside the extension is a gravelled seating area with mature planting that helps screen neighbouring properties. Beyond this is a flagged patio area with a solid-built shed and access to the rear alleyway.
