The location

Barton Road sits in the heart of Scotforth, one of south Lancaster’s most established and consistently popular residential areas. Known for its strong community feel and traditional streetscape, this is a location that appeals to families, professionals and long-term residents alike. Well-regarded local schools are within easy reach, alongside everyday amenities including independent shops, cafés and supermarkets, all forming part of daily life without needing to venture far.

The area strikes an easy balance between convenience and calm. Regular bus services, cycle routes and road links provide straightforward access into Lancaster city centre, while Lancaster University and the Royal Lancaster Infirmary are both close by. Nearby green spaces and parks add to the appeal, offering space to unwind and walk, Booths supermarket is close by for groceries and while Scotforth Road’s mix of local businesses gives the area a lived-in, neighbourhood feel that continues to attract buyers who value both practicality and character.

The property

Set back from the road behind a forecourt garden, this striking three-bedroom semi-detached home immediately makes an impression. Finished in crisp white and subtly influenced by Art Deco design, the house has a confident presence without feeling overstated. Inside, the sense of space is apparent from the outset, with a wide entrance hallway that sets the tone for the generous proportions found throughout the home.

To the front, the bay-fronted living room is a warm and inviting space, centred around a multi-fuel stove that makes it ideal for relaxed evenings or entertaining. Original detailing has been carefully retained and balanced with modern updates, creating a room that feels comfortable and characterful without being formal. A ground floor WC and built-in storage sit neatly off the hallway, adding everyday practicality.

The rear of the house opens into a recent renovated spacious kitchen diner (2022) that has been thoughtfully reworked for modern living. Arranged in a U-shape, the shaker-style kitchen creates a natural gathering point around the breakfast bar, with space for dining and doors opening directly onto the garden. The original pantry has been retained, providing useful storage and a nod to the home’s period roots.

Upstairs, the generous landing has been cleverly used to accommodate a home working area, making good use of the space without compromising the bedrooms. All three rooms are comfortable doubles, offering flexibility for family life, guests or additional work-from-home needs. The bathroom has been replaced with a well-finished three-piece suite, featuring heritage-style fittings that suit the age and style of the house.

Outside, the property benefits from a rear garden, cellar, driveway parking and a detached garage, offering a combination of outdoor space, storage and off-street parking that’s increasingly hard to find. With its well-balanced layout and strong proportions, the home suits families looking to upsize just as well as buyers wanting space without the upkeep of a larger property.
