Grasmere Road, Lancaster, LA1
An opportunity to own a piece of Lancaster's Victorian history - a home with genuine heritage, brimming with character and original features, yet offering all the comforts of modern living. A real open fire in the living room and solid wood work tops in the kitchen. From the stripped wide floorboards upstairs to the capstan head taps in the bathroom, every detail tells the story of this remarkable 170-year-old home. The cottage feel, combined with generous gardens and abundant natural light, creates a truly special living environment that's increasingly hard to find. Set back and raised from the road the property is in a unique quiet location but offers easy access to the motorway, and is less than a 10 minute walk to the town centre with theatre, cinema, shops and eateries. In the other direction is Williamson Park, again only a 10 minute walk away.
Welcome Home
Step through the wooden panelled front door into an inviting living room with views over the front garden and the warmth of a real open fire - the perfect spot for cosy winter evenings. The room showcases the home's heritage with characterful period details and is flooded with sun light in the afternoons and into the evening.
The kitchen is a bright and welcoming space flooded with natural light from a large south-facing window and two Velux windows. There is space for a table and chairs. Fitted with traditionally styled cream coloured country cabinets housing integrated appliances. It features a Belfast-style sink and solid wood worktops. The stripped wooden farmhouse style doors add the perfect detail. A rear hallway provides practical storage with a boiler cupboard and leads via a charming stable style door to the rear garden.
Bedrooms & Bathroom
The downstairs bathroom is full of character, featuring a real cast iron bath with authentic 1950s capstan head taps and an over-bath shower, alongside a three-piece suite. On the landing there is a rear window and the current vendor has a traditional ceiling mounted laundry airer. Upstairs, the original wide floorboards have been lovingly stripped and preserved - a tell tale sign of the house's 1850s origins and superior construction. Two generously proportioned bedrooms are positioned front and back, both benefiting from the home's excellent natural light and garden views.
