Lily Grove, Lancaster | Space, Character & A South-Facing Courtyard

The Location

Lily Grove sits at the heart of Scotforth, one of South Lancaster’s most established and well-regarded residential areas. This is a setting defined by attractive period homes, mature trees and a calm, settled atmosphere that has long appealed to professionals and families alike. The street itself has a quiet, almost tucked-away feel, yet everything you need is within easy reach. Both Lancaster University and the University of Cumbria are close by, along with the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, making it a practical choice for those working locally.

Beyond its convenience, the area offers a lifestyle that’s easy to enjoy day to day. Local independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities are just a short walk away, while Williamson Park and nearby green spaces provide an easy escape outdoors. The city centre is also within straightforward reach, offering a wider mix of restaurants, culture and transport links, including the train station for commuting further afield. It’s a location that balances accessibility with a more relaxed pace of living.

The Property

From the moment you step inside, there’s a sense of proportion and character that carries throughout the home. The entrance leads into a front lounge where high ceilings, a bay window and stripped wooden floors create a bright, welcoming space centred around a cast-iron fireplace. It’s a room that feels both comfortable and refined. A square archway connects through to the dining room, where the atmosphere becomes more intimate, with an open working fire, original quarry tiled floor and built-in shelving—ideal for everyday living or hosting friends.

To the rear, the kitchen is practical and well arranged, fitted with beech-style units and integrated appliances, with good worktop space and a layout that works easily day to day. From here, steps lead down to the lower ground floor, opening up a fully heated and highly versatile space. This level offers excellent flexibility, featuring a mirrored wall and its own WC—ideal for use as a home office, treatment room, studio, gym or guest bedroom depending on your needs.

Upstairs, the first floor continues the home’s balanced feel. The main bedroom spans the full width of the front, filled with natural light from the bay window and offering a calm place to unwind. A second double bedroom sits to the rear, well proportioned and equally comfortable. The bathroom has been thoughtfully designed, featuring a freestanding slipper bath alongside a walk-in shower, creating a space that feels both practical and considered. Outside, the south-facing courtyard is private and easy to maintain, set up for seating and planting, with an outbuilding providing useful additional storage or workshop space and WC located in the shed.
