Welcome to Vine Street
There are houses that are merely lived in — and then there are homes that have been genuinely loved, considered, and transformed. 22 Vine Street is emphatically the latter. Tucked into a characterful residential terrace just off Greaves Road, this stone-fronted Victorian home has been extensively and thoughtfully remodelled by its present owners.
From the sleek composite front door to the gleaming porcelain of the south-facing rear garden, every detail has been executed to an exacting standard. This is a home that combines the warmth and authenticity of a Victorian terrace with the kind of open, light-filled, modern living space that most people only dream about. Once you see it, you will not want to leave.
Character from the First Step
The handsome stone frontage sets the tone immediately. The smart black composite front door is both stylish and practical, opening into a vestibule that creates a pleasant buffer between street and home, maintaining warmth and privacy before you even reach the interior proper.
Original wooden panelled internal doors have been retained throughout, and their presence is immediately felt — a quiet statement that the owners understood exactly what they had and chose to honour it.
Front Lounge - Warmth, Craftsmanship & Detail
The front reception room is a masterclass in sympathetic renovation. Solid engineered wood flooring underfoot adds warmth and longevity, whilst the fireplace — framed by a beautifully exposed stone lintel — anchors the room with a focal point of genuine historic character. To either side, bespoke fitted storage has been crafted with care, finished with fine architrave and detailing that elevates the joinery from merely functional to genuinely beautiful.
The Extension - Where the Magic Happens
If the front lounge is the heart of the Victorian home, the rear extension is its modern soul — and it is nothing short of spectacular. The owners have created a generous open plan kitchen, dining and family space that transforms the footprint and feel of the entire property. This is the space that will make you fall in love.
Velux windows above flood the room with natural light from every angle, while French doors open directly onto the south-facing garden — dissolving the boundary between inside and out and creating a wonderfully airy, connected feeling even on a grey Lancashire morning. Wood-effect floor tiles run continuously throughout, laid over electric underfloor heating that keeps the space luxuriously warm underfoot through every season.
The kitchen itself is beautifully specified. Handsome cabinetry in Reed Green and Stone — a palette that speaks directly to the stone fabric of the house — is complemented by engineered stone worktops.
Integrated Kitchen
The kitchen has a full suite of premium integrated appliances: a Neff hob, oven and extractor fan, Bosch dishwasher, and AEG full-height fridge and freezer. A corner utility and pantry zone is discreetly concealed behind matching cabinet doors, keeping the aesthetic clean and clutter-free without sacrificing an inch of practicality.
A large breakfast peninsula bridges the kitchen and dining zone with natural ease — equally suited to a quick morning coffee, an informal supper, or a proper dinner party. This is a room for real life, lived well.
First Floor - Flexible & Indulgent
The first floor offers a double bedroom to the front, currently configured as a stylish home office — a versatile space that adapts effortlessly to the needs of its occupants, whether as a guest room, study, hobby room, or nursery.
The bathroom to the rear is, frankly, a destination in itself. The four-piece suite features a freestanding claw-footed bath that commands the room with effortless period elegance, alongside a wash basin, WC, and a generously proportioned wet room-style corner shower enclosure. The Victorian styling is pitch-perfect — entirely in keeping with the character of the house whilst delivering an experience of genuine luxury and indulgence. A long soak here, with the garden quiet beyond the window, is the stuff of daydreams.
Second Floor - A Peaceful Retreat
The second floor accommodates a further two double bedrooms — quiet, private, and removed from the bustle of daily living. With three double bedrooms in total across two upper floors, this home works beautifully as a family home, a house share, or for those who simply value having the space to spread out and breathe.
Summary
22 Vine Street is that increasingly rare thing: a genuinely exceptional home that has been improved with intelligence, taste, and genuine investment. It respects the character of its Victorian origins whilst delivering a standard of living that is wholly contemporary. In a city as desirable and well-connected as Lancaster, on a street as convenient and quietly appealing as Vine Street, a home of this quality will attract serious attention quickly.
