Burton Avenue | Extended detached bungalow with a modern open-plan layout and garden.

The Location
Burton Avenue sits within the well-established Scale Hall area of north Lancaster, a location known for its convenience and ease of living. From here, you’re within walking distance of Asda and a range of everyday amenities, while Lancaster city centre is easily reached via the Millennium Bridge. For those needing to travel further, the Bay Gateway and M6 are just minutes away, making commuting simple. This is a part of the city that appeals to a wide range of buyers, particularly those looking for a quieter residential setting that still keeps everything close at hand. With nearby green spaces and a settled neighbourhood feel, it’s a location that works just as well for relaxed weekends as it does for busy day-to-day routines.

The Property
Set behind wrought iron gates, this detached bungalow offers immediate kerb appeal, with a gravelled frontage, established planting and a recently improved driveway creating a smart and welcoming approach. The level of work carried out here is clear from the outset, with the property having been comprehensively upgraded by the current owners.

Inside, the layout flows easily. The hallway leads through to a fully updated four-piece bathroom, finished with a clean, modern design including a walk-in shower and separate bath, all set within a bright, fully tiled space.

To the front, both bedrooms are generous doubles, each with large bay windows that bring in plenty of natural light. Original detailing such as ceiling roses, cornicing and picture rails has been retained, along with chimney recesses that add character without compromising on space.

The rear of the home has been opened up and extended to create a spacious, open-plan living area. This is where the property really comes into its own. The kitchen, fully replaced in 2025, is fitted with sleek, modern units and generous worktop space, along with a breakfast bar for informal dining. The layout connects seamlessly with the lounge and dining area, making it a space that works naturally for both everyday living and hosting.

A log-burning stove sits at the heart of the living area, adding warmth and a clear focal point. Large windows and patio doors keep the space bright, with direct access out onto a raised decked seating area. From here, you look out over the garden — an ideal spot for a morning coffee or an evening drink.

The garden itself offers a good mix of lawn, established planting and seating areas, giving flexibility depending on how you want to use the space. A detached garage sits to the rear, providing useful storage or workshop space, along with additional parking if needed.

What sets this home apart is the scale of improvement works carried out. From a full rewire and new plumbing system to a new roof, replacement windows, updated insulation and a complete kitchen and bathroom refit, this is a home where the major work has already been done.
