location

Welcome to Shaftesbury Place a quiet cul-de-sac in Scotforth in south Lancaster. A fabulous little corner of Lancaster that benefits from some stunning south-facing views of the surrounding countryside. It is no secret that Scotforth is one of the more sought-after parts of Lancaster to live in, with a number of highly regarded primary schools in walking distance and great transport links in and out of the city.

For those that commute you can reach the M6 or Lancaster Train Station within a 10-minute drive and the same can be said of the Royal Infirmary or Universities. You get a Booths supermarket on your doorstep, we recommend the hot food counter, as well as a popular pub. Regular buses run to the city centre with its large number of shops, cafes and restaurants.

Overview

Set back and above the road we look upon this wonderful mid-century home. Originally all on one floor this bungalow had its below ground-level garage incorporated to create an extra bedroom and shower room, as well as a handy entrance from the driveway.

The front door is accessed through a meticulously curated front garden up the winding steps with mature flower beds and herbs for use in the kitchen. This property has been designed to take full advantage of the fabulous views across south Lancaster with the front patio, master bedroom, and living room all getting in on the action.

A beautifully presented home that is sure to capture the imagination, be sure to spot all the clever little storage spaces throughout the house. The home boasts high ceilings and spacious rooms and thanks to some large well well-positioned almost panoramic windows is flooded with natural light. The living room benefits from huge windows taking in the views and is large enough to use as living and dining space. To the rear of the home are two further reception rooms and the family kitchen. Many will be happy to find a utility/laundry room just off the kitchen too.

Like the living room, the master bedroom again takes in the views and has a wall of built-in wardrobes and an en-suite W.C. The second double bedroom is centrally positioned and again features some built-in wardrobes. A recently updated bathroom is a lovely addition and there is a separate W.C.. The below-ground level has another double bedroom which could be utilised an office. You will also find a handy study area and another modern shower room as well as access to the driveway.

The back garden is wildlife & pollinator-friendly with a raised lawn and patio-style seating area. In the side gardens, we find some apple trees and composting sites.
