Ullswater Road, Lancaster

A charming 3 bedroom Victorian terraced cottage in the historic city of Lancaster. One of the first properties to be built on the desirable Freehold estate, it appears on the 1870 census housing families and lodgers who worked in the local mills and wagon works. As a Freehold terrace, the property benefits from a characteristically long, south-westerly facing garden. It is currently well stocked with acers, climbing roses and evergreens. A small pond sits at the bottom of the garden, and a large decking area leads directly from the kitchen. The small, gated front garden has an easterly aspect, enjoying early morning sun.
The house was redesigned and reconfigured between 1987 and 1989, with plans prepared by BDP (British Design Partnership.) A new roof was installed at that time. The chimney stack, flaunching and pots were replaced in 2024. An extra-large pitched-roof garage is accessible from the road to the rear of the property via Mill Street, with a new garage door fitted in 2024. The front attic double bedroom includes access to a small loft space and enjoys views towards the Ashton Memorial.

The rear attic double bedroom offers views of Lancaster Castle and the Priory. Ullswater Road benefits from a post office, newsagent and well-stocked corner shop. The property is a five-minute walk from the popular Gregson Community Centre, and a ten-minute walk from the Dukes Theatre, the cinema and historic Lancaster city centre. Located within the catchment area for well-regarded schools. No Onward Chain.
