Yealand Drive, Scotforth - an extended family home

Listed 25 Sept 2026 · Lancaster
Location Cromwell Road is tucked away just off Aldcliffe Road, occupying a peaceful position within easy walking distance of Lancaster city centre. Made up predominantly of attractive period homes, the road has an established residential feel while remaining exceptionally convenient for everything the city has to offer. Lancaster Canal is close by, providing pleasant waterside walks and cycle routes, while nearby green spaces add to the sense of being removed from the busier city streets. The city centre offers an excellent choice of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and cultural venues, together with Lancaster Castle and the mainline railway station. The Royal Lancaster Infirmary, University of Cumbria and Lancaster University are also readily accessible, making this a particularly practical location for families and professionals. Property Information Cromwell Road is a handsome three-bedroom stone period home, combining generous room proportions with an impressive collection of original features. Sash windows, stripped wooden floors, substantial cornicing, fireplaces and traditional internal doors all contribute to the character of the house, while the extended kitchen and modern shower room provide practical spaces for everyday living. The entrance opens into a hallway leading to two adjoining reception rooms. At the front, the living room is centred around a large bay window and an ornate fireplace, with high ceilings and decorative cornicing adding to the sense of space. Behind this, the dining room provides another generous reception space, retaining a traditional fireplace and useful fitted storage. Extending across the rear is a spacious kitchen diner with slate flooring, sage-toned cabinetry and plenty of worktop space. Exposed stonework introduces further character, while French doors open directly onto the raised rear terrace, creating an excellent connection between the house and garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom with stripped floorboards and an attractive period fireplace. The second double and third bedroom continue the traditional feel, while the shower room has been more recently updated with a large walk-in enclosure and rainfall-style shower. The house also benefits from a substantial cellar, providing valuable additional storage beneath the property. Outside, the rear garden is a particularly appealing feature. A raised terrace sits immediately outside the kitchen, with steps descending to a lawn bordered by established planting. The garden continues beyond, providing further outdoor space and several areas from which to enjoy the surroundings. Material Information Freehold Property
