Bedford Place, Scotforth | Check out the superb kitchen diner of this extended family home

The Location

Bedford Place sits in a well-established residential area in Lancaster, popular with families and professionals who want convenience without the constant movement of the main roads. From here, you can walk into the city for shops, cafés and the train station, while local convenience stores - Booths, takeaways and everyday essentials are close by. The River Lune and its cycle paths are within easy reach, offering a scenic route for commuting or weekend walks.

This part of Lancaster has a settled, neighbourly feel. There’s a mix of long-standing residents and younger households, with good access to primary schools and regular bus routes. For those travelling further afield, the Bay Gateway and M6 are easily accessible. It’s a location that makes daily life straightforward while keeping you connected to green space and the city centre.

The Property

Step inside and it’s clear how much thought has gone into the transformation of this home. Over the last five years, every room has been replastered, redecorated and recarpeted, with built-in wardrobes and storage added to make the most of the space. The front living room is calm and welcoming, centred around the bay window, with bespoke cabinetry and a soft, neutral finish that feels both practical and considered.

To the rear, the house opens up into an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space created by knocking through and extending. Renovated in 2023, the kitchen is sleek and understated, with a large island that naturally becomes the hub of the home. There’s space for a full dining table and a generous seating area, all brought together under a skylight and spot lighting that keeps the room bright throughout the day. French doors lead out to the garden, making it easy to move between inside and out in the warmer months. A separate utility room and downstairs WC sit neatly within the extension, both signed off with building regulations and planning consent. The flat roof over the extension has also been replaced, offering reassurance as well as improved insulation.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms. The main bedroom features fitted wardrobes that maximise floor space, while the second double enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear and fitted wardrobes. The third bedroom works well as a nursery, child’s room or home office. The bathroom has been updated to create a clean, contemporary space with a bath and separate walk-in shower. The loft is partially boarded for additional storage, and all party walls were soundproofed during renovation, adding an extra layer of comfort.

Outside, the south-west facing garden enjoys the best of the afternoon and evening sun, with outdoor lighting and plug sockets already in place. An EV charger has been installed to the front, alongside a new front and back door, completing a home that has been comprehensively improved and carefully maintained.
