Sibsey Street, Lancaster | Period Living in Fairfield, LA1 5DQ

LocationSibsey Street is situated in the popular Fairfield area of Lancaster, a well-established residential neighbourhood particularly convenient for the city centre and railway station. The location works well for those wanting to enjoy city living while remaining close to open green space. Fairfield Nature Reserve and Millennium Orchard are both nearby, providing attractive walking routes and access to the wider Fairfield green spaces. Lancaster city centre is within easy walking distance, with its shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, while the railway station is also readily accessible for commuters. The area is well placed for local schools and amenities, with Lancaster Girls’ Grammar School close by. The property itself enjoys an open outlook to the rear across the adjoining school playing fields, adding to the sense of space despite its convenient city location. Property InformationThis three-bedroom stone-built period terrace has been thoughtfully updated during the current ownership, combining modern improvements with original features and well-proportioned accommodation. The entrance hallway leads into a bright bay-fronted living room, where the high ceiling, decorative cornicing and stripped timber floor retain the period character of the house. The living room has been opened through to the dining room, creating a more sociable arrangement while still allowing each area to feel distinct. The dining room continues the stripped flooring and features a woodburning stove set within a recessed fireplace. Beyond the dining room is a generous kitchen extending to approximately 15'4". Updated during the current ownership, it has shaker-style cabinetry in a muted tone, wood-effect work surfaces and contrasting black fittings. A large window overlooks the rear and there is space for a range of appliances, along with useful understairs storage. Upstairs are three bedrooms and the shower room. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom also provides good double proportions. The third is a smaller but particularly useful room, currently well suited to a home office or child's bedroom, with dual-aspect windows and an outlook across the playing fields to the rear. The shower room is fitted with a large walk-in shower, WC and wash basin. The loft has also been improved for storage, with boarding, a new access hatch and loft ladder. Outside is an enclosed rear yard, providing a manageable space for outdoor seating and pots, with gated access. The property has benefited from a number of improvements during the current ownership, including a new kitchen, modern shower room, fitted wardrobes, stripped and varnished flooring, new upstairs carpets, roof works and the installation of the woodburning stove. Offered with no onward chain, it provides a well-presented home in a particularly convenient part of Lancaster.
