A stone-built cottage in the heart of historic Scotforth

Welcome to Scotforth – a sought-after suburb known for its mix of period homes, excellent amenities and close proximity to Lancaster city centre. Ashford Road forms part of the historic centre of this desirable area, lined with characterful stone-built terraces and a real sense of community. Residents benefit from easy access to local shops, popular schools, and convenient transport links including the A6 and Lancaster University. With countryside walks nearby and Williamson Park just a short stroll away, this is a location that offers both lifestyle and practicality.

About this home

This attractive two-bedroom, stone-built terrace offers a welcoming feel from the moment you step inside. Set back behind a lawned front garden, it has a traditional cottage-style appearance that continues throughout the interior. The hallway sets the tone with original Lincrusta panelling and leads into a cosy lounge decorated in a soft grey shade. A traditional fireplace houses a living flame gas fire, adding both warmth and character. Glazed double doors connect through to the dining room, which mirrors the lounge décor and features its own matching fireplace. These two reception spaces work well individually or opened up for entertaining.

The kitchen is positioned to the rear and is laid out in a practical U-shape. It features white fitted units with contrasting wood-effect worktops, a built-in oven and gas hob, and attractive open shelving for additional storage and display. There is space for further appliances, and a rear door leads out to the yard and garden area.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are doubles. The main bedroom spans the width of the home to the front, while the second overlooks the rear yard and shared garden. The bathroom is a generous size, fitted with a white three-piece suite and housing the gas combination boiler within a built-in cupboard. The home retains many of its original features including stripped wooden doors throughout, which help to maintain its period charm.

A real bonus is the cellar, which is accessed via stone steps and offers full head height – ideal for storage or with potential for conversion, subject to relevant permissions. To the rear of the property, there is a shared communal garden area with seating – a pleasant outdoor space for residents to enjoy.
