Haverbreaks Road, Lancaster, Lancashire, LA1 5BJ

Situated within one of Lancaster’s most prestigious and highly regarded residential areas, this detached residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home set on a generous, west-facing, secluded plot, backing directly onto the picturesque Lancaster Canal.

Lovingly owned for many years, the current vendors were originally drawn to the property by its exceptional position and tranquil surroundings. Today, the home offers an exciting opportunity for its next chapter, with scope for modernisation, enhancement, and significant development potential (subject to the necessary consents). With imagination and vision, this could become a truly outstanding forever home, while the location itself ensures strong prospects for future investment.

The main residence is currently arranged over a single storey and offers vastly proportioned and versatile accommodation. A spacious entrance hallway and porch lead through to a superb open-plan kitchen and dining area (over 10 meters in length), extending from front to back and forming the heart of the home. An additional living room, accessed via double doors from the open plan family kitchen diner boasts a large picture window and French doors into the sun lounge. The addition of two roof lights adds extra sunlight into the space. To the rear, a bright and airy sunroom enjoys delightful garden views from its elevated position and captures stunning sunsets and garden views, creating a peaceful space to relax. The three large double bedrooms all have either fitted furniture or built in wardrobes - two of the rooms are more than double rooms - sizable to say the least. A four-piece bathroom and an additional, separate shower room are conveniently placed near the bedrooms, and the hallway has ample fitted storage cupboards. On the off side of the kitchen is a utility room with an access door to the front driveway, stairs to the first-floor accommodation, and an internal door to the double garage. A further car port on the side of the garage is ideal covered storage or an area for outdoor pursuits.

Above the garage, an additional first-floor space offers exceptional flexibility. This expansive room features full length, "tilt and turn" windows that frame beautiful views across the canal and open fields beyond. Served by its own bathroom and utility area, it is ideally suited as guest accommodation, a principal bedroom suite, or an inspiring home office.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A substantial driveway to the front provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, while the rear garden is a true highlight—extensive, private, sheltered and predominantly laid to lawn with a raised patio area perfect for outdoor entertaining. Mature perennial shrubs and hedges flank the garden boundary adding to the sense of privacy. The grounds also feature a variety of fruit trees, a summerhouse with power and lighting, and a further timber storage cabin ideal for tools and equipment. Behind the storage cabin is a pathway which meanders through bamboo planting, leading directly to the canal side.

Opportunities of this nature are seldom available. Offering space, privacy, and immense potential in one of the area’s most desirable locations, this is a truly special property ready to begin its next chapter. Offered chain free.
