Tarbet Street, Lancaster | Victorian Terrace Moments from the City Centre & Williamson Park

Location

Tarbet Street enjoys an enviable position on the edge of Lancaster’s vibrant city centre, perfectly placed for both convenience and green space. Williamson Park is just a short stroll away, offering 54 acres of woodland walks, open lawns, the Ashton Memorial and regular community events — a huge attraction for dog walkers, runners and families. The street itself is part of a well-established residential area known for its Victorian architecture and easy access to daily amenities.

The immediate surroundings feel open thanks to the play park opposite, giving the home a more spacious outlook than many terraces. Local shops, cafés and takeaways are close by, and the city centre can be reached on foot in minutes, providing supermarkets, independent retailers and leisure facilities. Excellent transport links include regular bus routes along nearby Moor Lane and quick access to Lancaster train station, making commuting or travel further afield straightforward. Families will also appreciate being within easy reach of Lancaster Royal Grammar School and Cathedral Junior School, along with other well-regarded local schools. Health services and university connections are all easily reachable, contributing to the area’s long-standing popularity with a wide range of buyers.

The Property

This mid-Victorian two-bedroom terrace offers well-proportioned rooms and a layout suited to modern everyday living. Step into the lounge, where the high ceilings and front-facing window create a bright and welcoming first impression. The gas fire provides a focal point, and the cream carpets help the room feel warm and inviting.

The kitchen sits to the rear and is a good size, fitted with birch-effect units and granite-effect worktops. There is space for freestanding appliances, and the layout allows for additional storage under the stairs. A rear window provides a pleasant outlook towards Balmoral Street, giving a slightly more open feel compared with typical terraces.

Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms. The rear room enjoys long views stretching towards the cathedral and the Town Hall clock tower, and it also houses the Worcester combination boiler. The front bedroom spans the width of the house and offers ample space for furniture. The bathroom is located on the ground floor and features a white three-piece suite with a shower over the bath; it was fully updated approximately four years ago, providing a neat, modern finish. Outside, a small rear yard offers space for potted plants and bin storage.
