Ashton Road, Lancaster | Cottage Style with Surprising Space and Separate Garden

De Vitre Cottages sit along Ashton Road, a well-established stretch on the western side of Lancaster that appeals to buyers who want character housing within easy reach of the city. The location strikes a comfortable balance between everyday convenience and a more settled, residential feel, with Lancaster city centre accessible on foot or by bike, and regular bus routes close by for wider travel.

Green space is an important part of the appeal here. Williamson Park, the canal towpath and riverside walks are all within easy reach, offering space to step away from the pace of daily life without leaving town. Local shops, schools and amenities are dotted nearby, and the area continues to attract families and professionals drawn by its sense of community, period homes and practical connection to the city.

Set back from the road behind a foregarden, this mid-terrace cottage immediately stands out for its character and presence. The bay window to the front and the distinctive arched roof window hint at the space within, while the traditional frontage sits comfortably among similar period homes along the terrace.

Inside, the ground floor has a warm, lived-in feel. The front lounge is a welcoming space, centred around a log-burning stove set within the original fireplace, with hardwood flooring underfoot and a bay window overlooking the garden. It’s a room that works just as well for quiet evenings as it does for gathering with friends. To the rear, the dining room and kitchen have been opened up, creating a sociable layout that flows naturally from one space to the next. The galley kitchen is fitted with wooden shaker-style units, granite-effect worktops and a range cooker, with space beneath the stairs opened through to improve light and connection.

Beyond the kitchen, a rear extension provides additional flexibility, currently used as a dining area with slate flooring and access to a downstairs WC. Doors lead out to the rear yard and on to the ginnel, across which sits a separate, mature garden space.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a main bedroom stretching the full width of the house, and two further rooms suitable for double beds, both with built-in storage. The family bathroom sits on the first floor, while a steep staircase from the landing leads to a loft room with restricted head height, currently used as a children’s games room or additional hobby space.
