Location

Barley Cop Lane is a well-regarded residential street situated north of the River Lune. It offers a great balance between suburban living and quick access to Lancaster city centre. Local shops, pubs and takeaways are within walking distance, and both Ryelands Park and Fairfield Nature Reserve are nearby for those who enjoy green space.

The area is also convenient for commuters, with Lancaster train station just over a mile away and excellent road links towards the Bay Gateway, M6, and beyond. Supermarkets including Aldi, Sainsbury’s and Lidl are all a short drive, and the city centre’s wide range of shops, restaurants and cultural venues are easily reached.
