Property Summary
A rare opportunity to unlock the potential of a generously proportioned corner plot! With gardens to three sides, this three bedroom end terrace house is ripe for modernisation and offers exciting possibilities for extension, landscaping and the creation of off-street parking, subject to consents. Offering plenty of scope to create a home tailored to your own tastes and needs, it's a particularly appealing prospect for growing families and downsizers alike. All this in a convenient residential setting, within easy reach of excellent schools, local amenities and Lancaster city centre.
Full Details
Occupying a generous corner plot, No. 37 is an end terrace house offering exciting potential for modernisation, improvement and possible extension, subject to consent but presumably feasible as neighbouring properties have successfully demonstrated. With gardens wrapping around the house, there is a wonderful sense of space and openness, making this an appealing opportunity for a young family, those looking to downsize or buyers keen to create a home to their own specification.
The accommodation benefits from PVC double glazing and gas central heating and offers well-proportioned rooms throughout. A spacious entrance hall provides room for coats and shoes, together with useful understairs storage. There are two separate reception rooms: a sitting room to the front with a living flame gas fire, and a dining room to the rear with French doors opening directly onto the garden. Leading off the dining room is a fitted kitchen with appliances and a convenient external door providing access to a row of useful outhouses and the rear garden.
Upstairs off a roomy landing are two double bedrooms, a third single bedroom, a wet room and a separate WC.
The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's greatest assets. Extending around the front, side and rear, they offer excellent scope for creative landscaping, outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment. The gated back garden provides a secure area for children or pets, whilst the generous corner plot presents possibilities for extending the accommodation or creating off-street parking, as neighbouring homeowners have done, subject to any necessary consents.
A property with plenty of potential, No. 37 offers the chance to create a lovely home in an established residential setting, with the added advantage of unusually generous outdoor space.
