Grasmere Road, Freehold | Charming two bedroom cottage with a lovely garden

Location

Welcome to Grasmere Road, located in the Freehold area of central Lancaster. You will find a mix of people from young professionals to retirees living here, many being attracted by the period properties, and their proximity to the city centre all while offering good back gardens. Just around the corner on Ullswater Road, there is a Chemist, Corner Shop & small pub. The city centre is just a 10-minute walk and offers many shops, cafes, and pubs.

From this location, you have multiple places you can go for a walk with the canal and Williamson Park close by. If you travel out of Lancaster you can reach the M6 north and south junctions without having to enter Lancaster's one wat system, and Lancaster Train Station is on the west coast main line

Overview

This cottage is filled with period charm and has been extended to the rear helping create a second bedroom. You step through the fore-court garden and directly into the reception room, here we find engineered oak flooring and a beautiful original fireplace with ample room for living and dining space. As you make your way to the rear of the property you will pass the bathroom, compact but well designed to maximise the space on offer. The kitchen sits in the extension and has lovely high ceilings along with views over the garden. There is room for freestanding appliances and good countertop space as well.

Head back to the living room and up the stairs and there are two bedrooms, both featuring wooden floors and a built-in cupboard. The master sits to the front and is a spacious double, the second is a single and has fabulous views, you can see most of Lancaster and some of the peaks of the Lake District.

One of the most attractive aspects of this house is the back garden. Accessed from the kitchen or the ginnel/underpass you first enter onto a raised decking, a perfect place to put a table and chairs. Down some steps, we come to a private patio with a built-in BBQ and an outhouse that is currently utilised as extra storage. Continuing down the path past the lawn to the bottom there is a great cabin, this can be used as a studio or maybe a home office as it has power. It is also west-facing so will get all the afternoon and evening sun.
