Location

Fern Bank is a small and peaceful cul-de-sac made up of well-proportioned family homes in the heart of Scotforth. It is a sought-after residential setting, popular with hospital and university professionals thanks to its proximity to the city centre and key employers, which are approximately one mile away. Excellent local schools are within easy reach, along with Booths supermarket for everyday shopping. St Paul’s Church sits just around the corner, adding to the area’s strong sense of community.

Description

This handsome double-fronted period home sits proudly behind a low stone wall and established hedge, offering privacy from the road while retaining an attractive frontage. The property blends original character with practical family living and offers generous accommodation arranged over three floors.

The ground floor is defined by high ceilings, original cornicing and stripped wooden flooring that flows from the welcoming lounge through the hallway and into the dining area. The living room is centred around a wood-burning stove, creating a warm focal point. To the rear, the open plan kitchen diner forms the heart of the home, fitted in a cream shaker style with solid wooden work surfaces and a Belfast sink. A stainless steel range cooker is recessed into the chimney breast. A separate utility room and ground floor WC add everyday convenience.

Across the upper floors, the home offers five bedrooms arranged over two levels. The first floor includes two well-proportioned rooms, including an impressive principal bedroom stretching across the front with its own sitting area. A four-piece bathroom with roll-top bath serves this level. The second floor provides three further bedrooms along with an additional family bathroom, offering flexibility for larger families, guests or home working.

Outside, the rear garden is landscaped and south facing, providing a private and usable outdoor space. A stone patio offers room for outdoor dining, while raised beds and planted borders add colour and structure throughout the seasons.
