4 bed terraced house for sale

Slyne Road, Lancaster | Four-Bedroom Renovation Project LA1

Location

Slyne Road is a well-established residential area on the northern side of Lancaster, conveniently positioned for access into the city centre as well as neighbouring Skerton, Scale Hall and Morecambe. Everyday amenities are readily accessible, with local shops, schools and regular bus services nearby, while Lancaster city centre offers a wider choice of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities.

For commuters, the location provides straightforward road connections towards the Bay Gateway and M6, along with easy access towards Morecambe and the surrounding villages. The property's rear position is particularly appealing, with the garden backing towards established greenery and playing fields, creating a more open outlook than might typically be expected from a traditional city terrace.

Property Information

An impressive four-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offering generous proportions, original character and considerable potential for renovation. The handsome stone frontage features substantial bay windows to both the ground and first floors, while internally the house retains features including fireplaces, stripped floorboards, decorative plasterwork and traditional joinery.

The ground floor begins with a long entrance hallway leading to two particularly spacious reception rooms. The front living room is enhanced by its large bay window, high ceiling and decorative detailing, while the second reception provides an excellent dining or family room. Beyond is a generously sized kitchen with an original range and hearth providing a striking reminder of the property's Victorian origins. There are also separate utility areas and useful additional storage.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues with four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is an especially impressive room with a large front-facing bay window, exposed floorboards and an original cast-iron fireplace. There are three further bedrooms, offering flexibility for family life, home working or guest space, together with a three-piece bathroom.

Outside, the rear garden is arranged over different levels with areas of lawn, established planting and pathways. Mature trees and greenery beyond create a pleasantly leafy backdrop, with the garden backing towards playing fields.

The property now requires a substantial programme of repair, renovation and modernisation. Areas of damaged plasterwork and ceilings are clearly visible, and buyers should approach the house as a renovation project rather than a property ready for immediate occupation. For those prepared to undertake the work, its scale, period character and generous layout provide an excellent opportunity to create an impressive family home.
