3 bed detached house for sale

Gloucester Avenue, Lancaster, Lancashire LA1

Detached 1930s Gem in Desirable South Lancaster....Brimming with charm and thoughtfully modernised throughout, this stunning 1930s detached home is a rare find. Tucked away on a highly sought-after avenue in south Lancaster, this property has been beautifully extended and updated to suit modern family life, while still retaining its character and warmth.

Step inside and prepare to be bowled over by the show-stopping kitchen diner. Expertly extended by the current owners, this bright and spacious heart of the home is the ultimate in contemporary living. Decorated in light, neutral tones, the space features quality integrated appliances, extra height wall units for maximum storage, and a full dining area that easily accommodates a family-sized table and additional furniture. A striking roof light and wide bi-fold doors create a seamless connection to the south-east-facing garden, flooding the space with natural light and offering the perfect backdrop for everyday living and entertaining.

Open to the kitchen diner is a stylish yet cosy living room, complete with an electric living flame-effect fire – ideal for relaxed evenings in. To the front, a generous formal dining room with a characterful box bay window provides a versatile additional reception space, perfect as a snug, home office, or playroom.

The original kitchen has been cleverly repurposed into a brilliant and practical laundry/utility room, boasting a double sink, abundant storage, a ceiling mounted drying rack, and a separate WC – an ideal hub for busy family life.

Upstairs, a spacious landing (with loft access via drop-down ladder) leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a serene retreat, featuring built-in wardrobes and a large bay window with a lovely outlook over the tree-lined street. The four-piece family bathroom is another standout, with a luxurious walk-in double shower and modern fittings.

Outside, the property truly shines. The south-east facing garden is a secluded sun trap, perfect for summer dining on the flagstone patio, with space for veggie beds, children’s play, or simply soaking up the sun. But the real surprise? An enourmous garage – a dream for hobbyists, car enthusiasts, or those in need of serious storage space. With power and lighting, it’s big enough to accommodate everything from classic cars to camping gear (or even be converted, subject to planning).

Situated just a short stroll from local amenities, excellent primary schools, green spaces, and with easy access to Lancaster city centre, the hospital, and bus routes, this is a truly exceptional home in a top location.

Detached. Beautifully extended. Packed with wow-factor features. This is the one you’ve been waiting for.
