Chequers Avenue, Lancaster | Elevated Bowerham Home

The Location

Chequers Avenue is a popular residential cul-de-sac positioned within the highly sought-after Bowerham area of south Lancaster. Known for its elevated setting, family appeal and excellent access to local amenities, Bowerham remains one of Lancaster’s most desirable residential locations.

The property is well placed for well-regarded local primary schools, nurseries and everyday conveniences, with regular bus services providing easy access into Lancaster city centre. Lancaster University, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, the city’s shops, cafés and transport links are also within comfortable reach. The elevated position is a particular advantage, with many homes in the area enjoying far-reaching views across Lancaster and towards the surrounding countryside.

Property Information

This versatile three/four-bedroom semi-detached home offers flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, making it well suited to families, those working from home or buyers needing adaptable living space. An entrance porch opens into a useful hallway area, currently used for storage and cloaks, but with scope to be arranged as a small study or home office space.

The lounge sits to the rear of the property and is a real highlight, enjoying impressive views across Lancaster through a large picture window and glazed door leading out to the rear terrace. The room is generously proportioned, with a wood-burning stove providing a focal point and a warm, homely feel. The kitchen diner is fitted with cream gloss cabinetry, wood-effect work surfaces and pale sage metro-style tiling, with integrated appliances and space for everyday dining.

Also on the ground floor is a flexible dining room, which could be used as a fourth bedroom, playroom or additional reception room depending on the buyer’s needs. A spacious four-piece bathroom completes the ground floor, featuring both a roll-top bath and separate shower enclosure.

To the first floor are three bedrooms, including two generous doubles. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, with dual aspects, excellent natural light and far-reaching views. It also benefits from a walk-in en-suite shower room. Externally, the west-facing rear garden has been arranged over terraces, creating a choice of seating and garden areas designed to make the most of the afternoon and evening sun. A large driveway provides parking for approximately seven vehicles and leads down to the undercroft garage, which offers excellent storage, workshop space and potential for future conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
