Listed 6 Jun 2026 · Lancaster
Location Ullswater Road is located within Lancaster's highly sought-after Freehold area, a neighbourhood renowned for its attractive period homes, strong community spirit and convenient access to the city centre. Popular with academics, professionals and families alike, the area offers the perfect balance between urban convenience and outdoor lifestyle. Williamson Park, with its extensive woodland walks, iconic Ashton Memorial and panoramic views across Morecambe Bay, is within easy walking distance, while Lancaster Canal provides a picturesque setting for walking, running and cycling. The Freehold area has developed a reputation as one of Lancaster's most desirable residential locations thanks to its welcoming atmosphere and active community. Residents enjoy regular events at The Gregson Centre alongside the area's well-known street parties, community gatherings and annual jumble sales. Lancaster city centre, Lancaster University, excellent local schools, independent shops, cafés and transport links are all easily accessible, making this an ideal location for those seeking a character home in a vibrant and well-connected neighbourhood. Property Information Set back behind a small forecourt garden, this handsome stone-built Victorian terrace has been thoughtfully modernised whilst retaining much of its original character and charm. The attractive stone frontage has been sandblasted and restored, complemented by traditional mock sash-style UPVC windows that sit perfectly with the age and style of the property. The accommodation extends over four levels and offers a surprisingly spacious layout throughout. The welcoming front reception room enjoys luxury vinyl flooring and centres around a striking Victorian-style cast iron fireplace, creating a warm and inviting living space. To the rear, a second reception room provides flexibility as either a dining room, additional sitting room or home office. The modern fitted kitchen spans the rear of the property and features contemporary white gloss cabinetry, integrated appliances, generous worktop space and excellent storage. A large rear-facing window allows plenty of natural light and provides an attractive outlook across the garden. From the kitchen, stairs descend to the useful cellar, which offers practical storage space alongside shelving and meter access. The first floor hosts a generous double bedroom positioned to the rear, where elevated views stretch towards Lancaster Castle. A spacious four-piece bathroom is located to the front of the property and includes a large walk-in shower, creating a stylish and practical family bathroom. The second floor provides two further double bedrooms, both well-proportioned and filled with natural light. The rear bedroom again enjoys the property's elevated outlook and views towards Lancaster Castle. Externally, the rear garden is a particular feature. A stone-flagged seating terrace leads onto a well-maintained lawn bordered by mature planting, trees and established shrubs, creating an attractive outdoor space that feels private and peaceful despite its central location. Throughout, the property is exceptionally well presented with tasteful décor, quality finishes and a layout that is ready for immediate occupation. Material Information Freehold property
