Slaidburn Drive, Lancaster | A Practical Hala Home with Afternoon Sun and Flexible Space

The Location

Slaidburn Drive sits within the ever-popular Hala area of south Lancaster, a location that consistently appeals to families and professionals looking for convenience without feeling too close to the city centre. Booths supermarket is just a short walk away, making the weekly shop simple, while nearby local shops and takeaways add to the everyday practicality. Regular bus routes run along the A6, connecting easily into Lancaster city centre, the university and the hospital. For those commuting further afield, the M6 is easily accessible, making travel north or south straightforward.

Families are particularly drawn to this part of Lancaster thanks to the well-regarded primary and secondary schools within the catchment. There’s a settled, residential feel here, with green spaces and parks close by for weekend walks or after-school play. The property itself is set slightly back from the road, approached via a pedestrian walkway and grassy bank, giving a sense of separation from passing traffic and adding a touch of privacy to daily life.

The Property

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a bright hallway that immediately feels well cared for, with useful storage neatly housing the modern consumer unit and gas supply. Just off the hallway is a ground floor bathroom, finished with a distinctive mural that adds personality and sets the tone for a home that’s both practical and individual.

To the front, the lounge is a comfortable, inviting space with spotlights overhead and a recessed fireplace nook housing an electric log-burning stove. A large window frames the outlook over the foregarden, drawing in natural light and creating a relaxed setting for evenings in. Hardwood-effect LVT flooring flows through the hall, lounge and dining room, giving continuity and durability underfoot. To the rear, the dining room offers a generous space for family meals or hosting friends, with an easy connection through to the kitchen. The kitchen itself is fitted with granite-effect worktops, beech-effect laminate units with stainless steel handles, black stone tiled flooring and space for freestanding appliances. A rear door leads directly out to the garden.

Upstairs, three bedrooms branch off from the landing. The rear bedroom enjoys pleasant views over the garden and also houses the Vaillant combination boiler. To the front, the main bedroom is a comfortable double, while the third room is ideal as a child’s bedroom, nursery or home office, with built-in storage over the stairwell. The family bathroom includes a bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin and WC, and benefits from natural light via two windows.

Outside, the south-westerly facing rear garden is arranged over tiers. Closest to the house is a concrete patio – ideal for outdoor dining and summer evenings. Steps lead up to two further lawned levels, currently managed as a wildflower meadow in the warmer months, creating a relaxed, informal feel. There is also a useful shed for storage. To the front, a driveway area is present, though due to the raised access it is better suited to motorbike parking or additional storage rather than a car.
