140 Scotforth Road, Lancaster, LA1 4NP - Matthews Benjamin

A handsome mid-terrace Victorian home that has been thoughtfully upgraded to offer a sleek, contemporary interior while retaining the traditional proportions and layout typical of the period.

Step inside the entrance hall which leads to a comfortable sitting room to the front and a separate dining room to the rear, which flows through to a partially open-plan breakfast kitchen. This arrangement creates a sociable and practical hub of the home, blending modern living with the charm of the original layout.

To the first floor, a split-level landing provides access to two double bedrooms, a third single bedroom suitable as a nursery, home office or guest room and a stylish shower room fitted with contemporary fixtures.

Throughout, the property has been tastefully modernised, combining clean lines, modern finishes and a refined colour palette with the character and appeal of a Victorian terrace, resulting in a home that is both elegant and highly functional for modern living.

Since the property was purchased in 2022 it has been renovated to include: Wren fitted kitchen with appliances, shower room suite, gas central heating boiler (underfloor heating to reception rooms and kitchen and radiators to first floor). Sliding sash PVC windows on the front elevation, complete with shutters, regular PVC windows to rear elevation, electric roller blinds, all new internal doors, two exterior doors and an electric ‘stove’ in the sitting room. This is all against a background of replastering, decorating, new flooring and an oak clad staircase and rewiring and new sockets and switches.

Set back off the pavement, the front garden has been landscaped to look smart and be easy to look after.  To the back of the house the outside area is split, an area for seating has been created and there is a handy outhouse for storage. This is fenced with a gate to a parking area beyond with space for one car.
