Location

Balmoral Road sits in the heart of Bowerham, one of south Lancaster’s most consistently popular residential areas. It’s a location that works hard for day-to-day life, with well-regarded schools close by, regular bus routes into the city centre, and easy access towards the A6 for Lancaster University and further afield. The surrounding streets are lined with established terraces and familiar faces, giving the area a settled, lived-in feel that appeals to families and professionals alike.

Beyond its practicality, Bowerham offers a strong sense of balance. Williamson Park and open green spaces are within easy reach for walks and weekend downtime, while the city centre remains close enough to enjoy cafés, shops and restaurants without relying on the car. It’s a part of Lancaster where homes are well used and well loved, making it a dependable choice whether you’re upsizing, relocating or investing.

The Property

From the outset, this bay-fronted mid-terrace feels bright and well-proportioned. The ground floor is arranged around two reception rooms, offering flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining. The front lounge is warmed by hardwood flooring and a feature fireplace, with the bay window bringing in plenty of natural light. To the rear, the second reception room centres around a log-burning stove and opens directly to the yard via patio doors, creating an easy connection between inside and out.

The kitchen sits beyond, fitted with shaker-style units and granite-effect worktops, with space for appliances and a practical layout that works well for daily use. A serviced combination boiler is located here, and the room enjoys good natural light from the rear elevation. The flow through the ground floor feels straightforward and usable, with each space clearly defined but well connected.

Upstairs, the first floor provides three well-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The bathroom is functional and well laid out, offering scope for cosmetic updating if desired. A further staircase leads to the loft conversion, which forms a generous fourth bedroom with Velux windows, exposed beams and useful eaves storage. This top floor works equally well as a main bedroom, guest room or home office, adding valuable flexibility to the layout.

Outside, the rear yard is fully enclosed and low maintenance, with new gated access to the rear lane. It’s a practical outdoor space that suits seating, storage or a touch of planting, without the upkeep of a larger garden.
