Sidney Terrace, Canal Quarter | A tucked away period home close to Lancaster Canal

Where is Sidney Terrace

Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac, Sidney Terrace is a location many simply don’t know exists. Set just off the edge of Lancaster’s city centre and within a stone’s throw of the Lancaster Canal, it offers an unexpected sense of seclusion in an otherwise central setting. This quiet street is soon to be part of the emerging Canal Quarter – an area earmarked for regeneration, combining heritage with exciting future development. It’s a location that blends convenience with character, where local walks, independent shops, and the vibrant city are all within easy reach.

About this home

Step inside and you’ll discover a stone-built period home set across four floors, offering flexible living and spacious rooms throughout. The open-plan lounge and dining area on the ground floor enjoys a dual aspect, with natural light flowing from both the front and rear. It’s a welcoming, airy space, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. On the lower ground floor, the kitchen is traditionally styled with room for all necessary appliances and opens directly onto the rear yard. A further basement room, currently used for storage, offers great potential for conversion – perhaps a study, playroom, or additional utility space.

Upstairs, the first floor offers a generous double bedroom and a generous size three-piece bathroom suite finished in classic white. The gas combination boiler is located here and has been regularly serviced. The top floor houses two further spacious double bedrooms, each with rooftop views across the city skyline, including glimpses of the cathedral and town hall.

Outside, a south-facing yard provides a private outdoor space to enjoy the sun, and residents’ permit parking is available on the street. While the home would benefit from some updating, it has been priced to reflect this, offering a fantastic opportunity to add your own touches in a desirable and up-and-coming location.
