Location
Barton Road occupies a highly regarded position in Scotforth, one of south Lancaster’s most popular residential areas. The property looks across Barton Road Playing Field, giving the front-facing rooms a pleasant open outlook while remaining convenient for the city and surrounding countryside.
Everyday amenities are close at hand, including Booths supermarket and the shops, cafés, bars and places to eat found along the A6. Regular bus services provide straightforward connections to Lancaster city centre, Lancaster University and nearby villages, while the Royal Lancaster Infirmary is also within easy reach.
The area is particularly popular with families due to its access to well-regarded local schools, including Lancaster Royal Grammar School, Lancaster Girls’ Grammar School and Ripley St Thomas. The university, city centre and M6 motorway are all readily accessible, making this an excellent base for families, professionals and commuters.
Property Information
Set back behind a forecourt garden and block-paved driveway, this substantial four-bedroom semi-detached home offers versatile accommodation arranged across three floors. Thoughtfully extended and improved by the current owners, it combines generous room sizes, period character and practical family living.
The house has also been upgraded with full cavity wall insulation and insulation beneath the underfloor crawl space. These improvements help retain warmth and contribute towards a comfortable internal environment, making the property particularly pleasant to live in throughout the year.
An arched entrance opens into a vestibule with an attractive stained-glass feature, followed by a spacious central hallway. The front lounge is an inviting reception room with a wide bay window, high ceiling, decorative coving, picture rails and a feature fireplace. To the rear is an impressive open-plan living and dining space. This flexible room provides generous areas for relaxing, dining and entertaining, with sliding glazed doors bringing in natural light and opening directly onto the garden. The separate kitchen is fitted with cream Shaker-style cabinetry, extensive work surfaces, a range-style cooker and space for an American-style fridge freezer. Amtico-style flooring continues into the adjoining utility room, beyond which is a useful ground-floor WC and access to the rear garden.
The first floor provides three bedrooms, including two spacious doubles and a well-proportioned single. The front-facing bedrooms enjoy views across the playing field, while fitted storage provides useful everyday practicality. The family bathroom was installed approximately in 2023 and has been stylishly finished with Italian-style tiling, a freestanding bath, double walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.
A fixed staircase rises to the converted top floor, which forms an impressive principal bedroom suite. This spacious room includes fitted wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and a compact adjoining office, suitable for home working, dressing or additional storage. The conversion benefits from Building Regulations approval.
Outside, the rear garden has been hard landscaped to create an attractive, low-maintenance space for seating and entertaining. Raised planting beds, established greenery and inset lighting add interest throughout the day and into the evening.
A particular feature is the exceptionally large detached garage. It offers tandem parking and excellent potential for workshop use, trade storage, bikes, tools or general household storage.
