The Property

This is a well-presented two-bedroom mid-terrace home with a warm, easy feel from the moment you step through the door. It has the kind of layout that makes sense for modern life, with a sociable open-plan ground floor, two proper bedrooms upstairs and a bathroom extension to the rear. It is a home that has clearly been looked after, with recent decorative improvements, a two-year-old Ideal combination boiler, UPVC double glazing and roof maintenance carried out during the owner’s time here.

The front door opens directly into the living area, where the recently replastered and redecorated finish gives the room a clean, calm feel. The owner has created a simple Scandi-inspired look, using light woods, soft whites and cream tones to make the space feel bright and relaxed. Raised hardwood flooring runs through the main living area, adding warmth underfoot, while the partly retained capped fireplace gives the room a natural focal point without overwhelming the space. It is easy to imagine this as a comfortable evening room, with space for a sofa, armchair and media setup, yet still open enough to feel connected to the kitchen beyond.

The kitchen sits to the rear of the main ground floor space and is fitted with off-white cream cabinetry, beechwood-effect worktops and practical storage. A dividing counter creates a useful break between the kitchen and living area and is currently used as additional shelving and a small library, showing how the space can be adapted to suit everyday living. There is room for the usual appliances, with the Ideal combination boiler positioned within the kitchen area. Beyond this, the rear extension houses the bathroom, fitted with a three-piece suite including a bath with overhead shower. The neutral sandstone-style tiling has been refreshed with recent grouting and silicone work, giving the room a clean and well-kept finish.

Upstairs, the main bedroom spans the full width of the front elevation and feels noticeably generous for this style of home. It has plush carpeting, picture rails and a simple neutral backdrop, creating a comfortable main bedroom with space for furniture as well as the bed. The second bedroom is currently used as a home office, making it ideal for anyone working from home, studying or needing a flexible second room. It also benefits from integrated storage, helping keep the room practical without taking up too much floor space.

Externally, the rear yard has an easterly aspect and is a usable size for this type of terrace, giving space for bins, storage and a small outdoor seating area. The owner has also invested in roof repairs and maintenance over several years, including work to the main roof, rear extension and chimney. Overall, 17 Elgin Street is a straightforward, well-kept home with solid fundamentals, a convenient location and a layout that will particularly suit first-time buyers, professionals or investors looking for a ready-to-go Lancaster terrace.
