The Location
Ashford Road sits in the heart of Scotforth, one of south Lancaster’s most established and well-connected residential areas. Positioned between the A6 and Ashton Road, it’s a practical location for moving easily across the city and beyond. Booths supermarket, local convenience shops and independent cafés are all close by, while well-regarded primary and secondary schools continue to make this area popular with families.
Regular bus routes run along the A6, including the university service, offering reliable links into the city centre throughout the day and evening. Williamson Park is within easy reach for walks and open space, and Lancaster’s train station and motorway connections are accessible for those commuting further afield. It’s a location chosen for its connectivity and convenience.
The Property
Set back from the road with a driveway and garage, this three-bedroom end-terrace offers a solid home with clear scope to modernise and personalise over time. The main roof has been replaced in recent years, along with the garage roof following asbestos removal, representing significant works already completed. The property is uPVC double glazed and gas central heated, with the boiler installed in 2007.
The front door opens directly into a bright lounge, where a large picture window brings in natural light. A gas fire sits within the original fireplace, creating a natural focal point to the room. To the rear of the ground floor is a second reception room, currently used as a dining room, positioned at the heart of the home and offering clear separation between living and kitchen spaces.
Beyond this, the long-standing rear extension houses the galley-style kitchen overlooking the garden. The layout is practical, with direct access outside. The ground floor bathroom, fitted in white, is also located to the rear.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms: two comfortable doubles and a well-proportioned single that could equally serve as a bedroom, nursery or home office. The arrangement is straightforward and functional, making the most of the footprint.
Outside, the rear garden is a standout feature. Not overlooked and enjoying a private feel, it is well stocked with mature fruit trees including apple, pear, cooking apple and damson. Established planting brings seasonal colour, with snowdrops and bluebells returning each year. A concrete patio area provides space for seating, while the lawn offers room to garden or relax.
