About this home

LocationOlive Road is a popular residential street in Skerton, positioned just north of Lancaster city centre. Arranged in a horseshoe shape with very little passing traffic, it offers a quieter setting while keeping everyday amenities within easy reach. Local shops, a doctor's surgery and regular bus services are nearby, while Lancaster city centre is within walking distance, providing a wide choice of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Ryelands Park and the River Lune are only a short distance away, with riverside paths providing pleasant walking and cycling routes towards the city and surrounding areas. Lancaster railway station, the Bay Gateway and the M6 are also readily accessible, making the location convenient for commuters and those travelling further afield. Property InformationBehind its traditional stone frontage, this well-presented period terrace offers a comfortable and practical home arranged over two floors. Professionally decorated and maintained to a good standard, it combines period character with a modern interior and would make an appealing first home, downsizing option or investment. The ground floor opens directly into a generously proportioned living room, where an attractive period-style fireplace provides a natural focal point. Wood-effect flooring and plenty of natural light help create a welcoming living space, with an open doorway leading through to the kitchen. Positioned at the rear, the kitchen is fitted with cream Shaker-style cabinetry, contrasting wood-effect worktops and tiled splashbacks, with space provided for everyday appliances. A rear door leads directly outside, making the courtyard easily accessible from the kitchen. Upstairs are two bedrooms. The main bedroom is a comfortable double with a bright outlook, while the second bedroom benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes, providing particularly useful storage. Completing the first floor is a modern bathroom with contemporary tiling, a white three-piece suite and a shower positioned over the bath. Outside, the enclosed rear courtyard is larger than typically expected with this style of property. Designed for low-maintenance use, there is ample room for outdoor seating and entertaining, along with gated pedestrian access. Material InformationGas central heating
