Tucked away in a lovely little corner of south Lancaster we find Durham Avenue. Positioned between Barton & Scotforth Road this really is one of Lancaster's most desirable locations thanks to its quiet nature and access in and out of the city. The house is opposite the local bowling green and there is also a small play park and tennis courts. To the end of the street, we have Burrow Beck, a large open space that's popular for dog walkers and a great place for kids to get out and stretch their legs.
Another massive draw for this part of town is its proximity to the best schools in the area, namely both the Girls & Boys Grammar School as well as Ripley St Thomas secondary schools and also several primary schools. Quick and easy access to both universities and the hospital again added to the popularity as well s reaching the M6 motorway junction in a relatively short time.
This home is the epitome of stylish modern living. Already a large semi, to begin with, there has been a stunning rear extension added that stretches the full width of the property. A tall pitched roof with Velux towers above the kitchen diner descends to a flat roof with a gorgeous glass ceiling where a cute reading corner has been added with views out to the back garden. Designed to be a shared family space with a ceiling-mounted swing chair (just one of three in the house), a chalkboard wall, and a tiny playroom hidden under the stairs. Practical elements have not been forgotten either with a well-equipped modern kitchen and a separate utility room with downstairs W.C.
Currently, the house has been adapted with the fourth bedroom being situated on the ground floor in what would have been a reception room adjacent to the lounge. In the lounge, we find the large bay window which floods the room with light, it's not hard to see why this room has been used as a study, it also has a feature fireplace with log burning stove.
Throughout the entire house, you will find beautifully decorated rooms with well-chosen splashes of colours well as wooden or laminate floors adding a sense of connectivity. All the bedrooms on offer are doubles with good light, the master has custom-built cupboards built along the far wall giving it huge amounts of storage. We find the third extended bedroom overlooking the garden with its Juilette Balcony and yet another ceiling swing. Many will be happy to find a good-sized four-piece family bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate bathroom tub.
Outside we also find a really usable back garden with a south-westerly aspect. Tall hedges to the right-hand side offer privacy with some nice trees, bushes, and flower beds to the edges of the lawn. From the back door, you step out on a custom build decking which is a lovely spot to sit back and let the world go by.
