4 bed detached house for sale

Bay Horse Drive, Scotforth, Lancaster LA1

Location

Bay Horse Drive sits within a quiet, well-established cul-de-sac on the south side of Lancaster, a location that has long appealed to families looking for a settled, low-traffic setting with a strong sense of community. The street feels calm and residential, with mature homes and well-kept gardens giving it a reassuringly permanent feel. Highly regarded local schools are close by, making day-to-day routines straightforward, while Booths supermarket, local shops and everyday services are all within easy reach.

Despite its peaceful position, the area remains exceptionally well connected. Lancaster Royal Infirmary, the city centre and Lancaster University are all easily accessible, and regular bus routes and road links make commuting simple without compromising on privacy. It’s a location that works effortlessly for family life, offering convenience, space and a sense of longevity that’s increasingly hard to find.

The Property

This generously proportioned family home has been carefully extended and adapted over many years, resulting in a layout that feels flexible, spacious and well suited to modern living. Having remained in the same ownership for around 48 years, the property has clearly been maintained with pride, offering immaculate presentation and a sense of warmth that’s felt as soon as you step inside.

A neatly kept front garden leads to an exceptionally large entrance hall, a standout feature that immediately sets this home apart. This welcoming space offers flexibility to be used as a home office or study if required and connects through to a bright central hallway with a dog-leg staircase and a well-placed ground floor WC. The ground floor flows naturally, creating a practical yet inviting layout for everyday life.

The open-plan lounge and dining room form the heart of the home, offering excellent proportions and a calm, comfortable atmosphere. There’s ample space for both relaxed family living and more formal entertaining, with the dining area leading through into the sun room adds another bright, versatile space – ideal as a reading spot, playroom or a peaceful place to sit with a coffee, with windows wrapping the room in natural light and bringing the garden outlook into everyday life.

An open archway leads through to the fitted kitchen, installed around ten years ago and finished with white gloss units, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar for informal dining. From here, there is direct access outside and into the integrated garage, which has been adapted to create a useful utility and workshop space. Upstairs, the sense of space continues with four genuine double bedrooms, all well presented and easy to furnish. The main bedroom benefits from a generous en-suite shower room, while the family bathroom is a large four-piece suite, ideal for busy households.

Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully maintained, with a patio seating area beneath a pergola, a mature grapevine and a well-kept lawn. It’s a space that feels private and established, offering plenty of room for entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying quieter moments outdoors.
