Location
Shireshead Crescent sits in a sought-after residential area of South Lancaster, known for its community feel and excellent connections to both the city centre and the motorway. Families are well served by highly regarded schools including Bowerham Primary and Ripley St Thomas Academy. Both the University of Cumbria and Lancaster University are within easy reach, with the latter accessible via a pleasant route along the nearby cycle path. Everyday amenities are close by, with convenience stores, takeaways, a post office, local pubs along Bowerham Road, and Booths supermarket just a short distance away.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, Williamson Park offers acres of woodland walks, play areas, a café, and the iconic Ashton Memorial, while Lancaster Canal provides peaceful towpath walks and cycling routes. Commuters will also appreciate the excellent transport links, with the M6 accessible via the Bay Gateway and Lancaster railway station offering direct connections to Manchester and beyond. The location combines residential peace with convenience, making it appealing to a wide range of buyers.
Property Details
This immaculate three-bedroom detached home has been thoughtfully updated and improved since 2017. On entering, a welcoming porch leads into the open-plan lounge and dining area, finished with solid oak flooring and a large front window that fills the space with natural light. French doors open out to the west-facing garden, while a feature wall adds warmth to the modern, neutral décor. A stylish sliding door connects the dining space to the sleek contemporary kitchen, refitted in 2020 with glossy units, marble-effect worktops, integrated appliances, and a superb walk-in pantry.
Upstairs, the home offers three bedrooms – two doubles and a generous single. The master bedroom is enhanced with elegant panelling and fitted wardrobes, while the second double enjoys elevated views towards the garden and rooftops. The bathroom is finished with modern tiling and features a white three-piece suite, including a P-shaped shower bath with overhead shower.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, the block-paved driveway accommodates two vehicles. The rear garden has been landscaped to create tiered levels with a decked terrace, large patio, lawn, and a lower area ideal for children’s play or vegetable growing. The former garage has been adapted to provide two useful spaces – a front storage/workshop or utility area, and a fully insulated rear room, currently used as a home office, complete with electrics, Wi-Fi, and a new roof. This versatile space provides scope for work, hobbies, or exercise.
