The Location

Ullswater Road sits within the Freehold area, one of Lancaster’s most established and well-regarded neighbourhoods. Known for its tree-lined streets and period homes, this is a setting that feels settled and welcoming, attracting professionals, families and those looking for a strong sense of community. Williamson Park is just a short walk away, offering open green space, woodland walks and far-reaching views, while the nearby Gregson Centre provides a popular social hub with events, food and a relaxed atmosphere.

Despite its peaceful feel, everything is within easy reach. Lancaster city centre is under a 10-minute walk, giving access to independent shops, cafés, restaurants and the train station for wider travel. The Lancaster Canal is also close by, ideal for walking or cycling, adding to the balance of town and outdoor living. It’s a location that works just as well day-to-day as it does at the weekend.

The Property

From the outset, this is a home that draws you in, with a clear sense of character and a layout that feels easy to live in. The lounge sits to the front, centred around a woodburning stove set within a stone fireplace, creating a natural focal point. Stripped wooden flooring and built-in shelving add warmth and practicality, while light filters through from both ends of the room.

The dining area continues through, offering a comfortable space for everyday meals or hosting friends, before leading into the kitchen at the rear. Here, cream shaker-style units, wooden worktops and a Belfast sink give a timeless feel, with the layout making the most of both light and outlook. A glazed door opens directly onto the garden, connecting inside and out.

Upstairs, the main bedroom spans the full width of the front, providing a generous and calm space with a pleasant outlook. The bathroom has been updated in 2024 with a large walk-in shower and a clean, modern finish. From the landing, views stretch out towards the garden and beyond, adding a sense of depth to the home.

The top floor offers two further bedrooms, both well-sized and flexible depending on how you live. One looks out towards the Ashton Memorial, while the other enjoys elevated views across the garden and towards Lancaster Castle, making the most of the home’s position.

Outside, the garden is a standout feature. Extending to around 100ft, it offers a mix of patio seating areas and lawn, with established planting creating colour and interest through the seasons. The west-facing aspect means the garden enjoys sun well into the evening, making it a space you’ll naturally use throughout the warmer months. A timber shed with power and its own consumer unit adds useful storage or workspace potential.
