Africa Drive, Lancaster | Flexible Living on Africa Drive

Location

Africa Drive forms part of the established Riverside View development, positioned just off St George’s Quay on the western side of Lancaster city centre. Built by Barratt Homes approximately ten years ago, the development is well placed for those wanting a modern residential setting while remaining within easy reach of the city.

The River Lune is close by, providing riverside walking and cycling routes towards Lancaster city centre and beyond. Lancaster railway station is approximately a 12-minute walk away, making the property particularly convenient for commuters, while the city centre provides a wide choice of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities. Everyday shopping is also straightforward, with Sainsbury’s nearby.

Road connections provide access towards Morecambe, the Bay Gateway and M6, while Lancaster’s main employment and education centres, including the Royal Lancaster Infirmary and universities, are readily accessible.

Property Information

This modern four-bedroom townhouse provides approximately 1,018 sq ft of accommodation arranged across three floors, with a flexible layout that can adapt well to changing household requirements.

The ground floor opens into a hallway with built-in storage and a cloakroom/WC. To the front is a useful fourth bedroom, currently arranged as a home office. The main living space occupies the rear of the house, combining the kitchen, dining and living areas within one generous open-plan room. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary gloss units, wood-effect work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances, with a breakfast bar providing a natural separation from the dining and seating areas. French doors open directly onto the rear garden.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generous double room with an en-suite shower room. Also on this level is a separate lounge, providing a comfortable reception room away from the main ground-floor living area. The flexible design means this room could potentially be used differently depending on a buyer's requirements.

The second floor provides two further bedrooms, both good-sized rooms extending across the width of the property. One is currently used for a substantial model railway layout, demonstrating the usable proportions of the room. A separate three-piece bathroom completes the upper floor.

Outside, there is a small front garden with a pathway leading to the entrance. The enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a paved seating area immediately outside the French doors and timber fencing providing defined boundaries. An allocated parking space is located within the nearby residents' parking area.
