This beautifully extended, detached family home offers an exceptional blend of a stylish interior and a truly breathtaking outdoor living space. Perfectly positioned in a prime South Lancaster location, the residence is ideal for families with excellent access to schools, green spaces, and city amenities.
Step inside and you’ll find a home that has been tastefully decorated throughout, with every detail carefully considered for modern family living. The ground floor includes a dedicated office, a separate cosy living room, and the heart of the home – a spectacular open-plan kitchen/dining/family room. Spanning the full width of the property, this light-filled space features chic light cabinetry and flooring, and enjoys uninterrupted views over the garden. With enough space for a family sized dining table as well as a relaxing zone and sofas it’s the perfect room for the family to come together. There’s also direct internal access to the garage – a practical touch for busy family life. A convenient WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with six well-proportioned bedrooms arranged over a split-level landing. The master suite includes a private en suite, and the smallest bedroom has been thoughtfully converted into a walk-in wardrobe. The main family bathroom is an absolute standout, with contemporary styling and on-trend brushed gold fittings.

But it’s the west-facing rear garden that truly sets this home apart. Designed with a focus on entertainment, relaxation, and family fun, this unique outdoor space is cleverly zoned and layered, offering dedicated areas for sunbathing, socialising, and play. Whether it’s a children’s party or an evening with friends, you’ll love the garden room wired for entertainment; the current owners even have a hot tub in here! In addition is the outdoor bar – “The Swifts Nest.” All of this is backed by the peaceful Burrow Beck, adding a sense of seclusion and tranquillity.

A driveway to the front provides off-road parking for two vehicles side by side, rounding off this exceptional house.

Homes like this, in such a well-connected yet peaceful location, are rarely available. With popular primary schools, excellent secondary options, and easy access to Lancaster city centre and transport links, this is a must-see for any growing family.
