Location
Set within a peaceful cul-de-sac in Scotforth, Shaftesbury Place occupies an elevated and leafy position among a row of individually designed 1950s and 1960s homes. The street enjoys a west-facing outlook, giving many properties far-reaching views and striking evening sunsets. It’s a well-regarded part of South Lancaster, popular with families and professionals thanks to its excellent access to everyday amenities.
Booths supermarket, local shops and regular bus routes are all close by, while the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, Lancaster University and the University of Cumbria are easily reached. The area also benefits from good road connections, with the A6, M6 and the city centre all within convenient distance. Nearby walking routes, including the canal and local green spaces, offer plenty of outdoor enjoyment.
The Property
Built in 1959, this handsome detached home offers generous proportions throughout, with four double bedrooms, two large reception rooms and a spacious kitchen extension. Its elevated position and wide plot give the property a sense of privacy, enhanced by established gardens surrounding the home. The property also benefits from a Solartwin thermal solar panel for supplementary water heating.
The main lounge sits to the front and enjoys dual-aspect windows and a woodburning stove, creating a warm focal point. A second reception room mirrors the same generous proportions and is currently used as a study room. This could easily function as a formal dining room, family lounge or home office, depending on requirements.
To the rear, the extended kitchen diner is a bright and practical space. Shaker-style timber cabinetry provides ample storage, and integrated appliances include an oven, hob and extractor. French doors open directly to the garden, and Amtico flooring runs throughout the kitchen and dining area, making it ideal for busy family life.
A large utility room sits just off the kitchen, offering additional workspace and appliance storage. From here, you have access to a ground floor shower room and an internal door through to the double width garage-particularly useful for those returning home with shopping or for visiting family members.
Upstairs, the home offers four excellent double bedrooms. One bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining rooms share a modern family bathroom with separate bath and shower, plus a toilet and basin in a separate room.
The gardens are a standout feature. The rear garden is mainly lawned with mature borders and a patio area close to the house. Beyond this lies a hidden fruit garden with apple trees, redcurrants, blackcurrants and gooseberries. The plot provides both privacy and potential for keen gardeners.
