Location
Wingate Saul Road is one of South Lancaster’s well-regarded residential addresses. The area has long been popular with families and professionals thanks to its mix of local amenities, schools, and green spaces. Just a short walk away are well-stocked local shops, while larger supermarkets and services can be found in the city centre. The University of Cumbria is nearby, and both Lancaster Royal Grammar School and Ripley St Thomas are within easy reach.
For leisure, Williamson Park offers acres of open space, woodland walks, and stunning views across the Bay, while the nearby canal provides a peaceful route for walking and cycling. Regular bus services run along the A6, giving easy access into Lancaster and south towards Galgate and the University of Lancaster. For those needing to commute further afield, the Bay Gateway ensures quick road connections to the M6 motorway, Preston, and beyond.
Property
This substantial semi-detached home offers plenty of potential for those seeking a property to make their own. Unusually for the street, it benefits from off-road driveway parking as well as a west-facing rear garden that is not overlooked. Internally, the home has been well maintained but is dated in décor, providing an excellent opportunity for modernisation.
The ground floor begins with a spacious hallway, leading to a generous living room with a bay window overlooking the front garden. A dining room sits at the rear, accessible from both the lounge and kitchen, and is filled with natural light from the glazed roof and large windows looking out over the garden. The kitchen includes a pantry cupboard, fitted units, and an external door to the garden.
Upstairs are three bedrooms – two comfortable doubles and a larger-than-average single – with the front bedroom enjoying distant views towards Lancaster Castle. The bathroom retains its original three-piece suite with a cast iron bath, Myra shower over, and distinctive tiling.
Outside, the rear garden is private and established, with a lawn, mature hedge, shed, and water butt. To the front is a paved garden with established rose bushes.
