The Piazza, Lancaster | Townhouse with Open Plan Kitchen

Where is The Piazza?

Standen Park remains one of south Lancaster’s most desirable residential developments. Built around an attractive central piazza with a striking Italian-style fountain, the setting feels private, peaceful and very well maintained. The development is made up of attractive townhouse-style homes and benefits from mature communal grounds along with a strong sense of community amongst residents. Positioned within easy reach of Lancaster city centre, Williamson Park and local amenities, the location appeals to a wide range of buyers looking for something both convenient and slightly tucked away from the busier parts of the city. Number 24 enjoys one of the best positions on the development with views over the piazza to the front and a beautiful west-facing rear garden enjoying excellent afternoon and evening sunshine.

The Overview

This is a fabulous four-bedroom townhouse built by Gleeson Homes around the year 2000. In more recent years the owners have remodelled the ground floor to create a far more sociable open-plan layout, which now works exceptionally well for modern family living. The property is entered via a spacious hallway with stairs leading to the upper floors. The ground floor is centred around a large open-plan kitchen diner with distinct areas for cooking, dining and relaxing, creating a genuine hub of the home feel. The kitchen itself has been fitted with pale blue gloss units alongside white cabinetry, deep drawers and extensive storage. Integrated appliances are included with the exception of the large family-sized fridge freezer. Set just off the kitchen is a practical utility room again offering excellent additional storage.

The first floor features a very spacious open-plan living room with tall elegant windows and Juliet balconies overlooking both the piazza to the front and the beautifully planted rear garden. The room has an elegant feel thanks to the ceiling heights and proportions, with picture rails and decorative cornicing adding character. The décor is warm and traditional in style. Also on this floor is the fourth bedroom which is currently used as a home office, as is common with many homes on the development.

The upper floor offers three further bedrooms including the generous main bedroom with ensuite shower room, a family bathroom, a further double bedroom and a well-proportioned single bedroom. Externally the property benefits from a beautifully maintained west-facing cottage-style garden along with an open carport providing off-street parking.
