The Property
Gardner Road is a traditional two-bedroom stone-built terrace offering an opportunity for someone looking to take on a renovation project. The house requires modernisation and updating throughout, but with a straightforward layout, two bedrooms and a ground-floor extension, there is plenty of scope to create a comfortable home.
You enter directly into the living room, a well-proportioned space with a window overlooking the street and a central fireplace. There is room for both seating and additional furniture, while the existing fireplace provides a natural focal point. Moving through the property, the staircase sits centrally, with a small but useful storage area tucked underneath.
The kitchen is positioned towards the rear, with wooden units arranged along two walls, tiled flooring and space for freestanding appliances. It is a room that would benefit from a complete update, offering the opportunity to introduce a more contemporary kitchen suited to everyday living.
Beyond the kitchen, a ground-floor extension provides the three-piece shower room, fitted with a corner shower enclosure, wash basin and WC. The wall-mounted combi boiler is also housed here.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms. The larger front bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and shelving, providing plenty of built-in storage. The second bedroom overlooks the rear and, although more compact, could just about accommodate a double bed. It also benefits from a small built-in storage cupboard positioned above the staircase. Both bedrooms require refurbishment, allowing a new owner to decide how best to use the space.
Outside, there is a small enclosed rear yard, providing a manageable outdoor area with access to the rear alleyway, particularly useful for bin storage.
With double glazing already installed and a convenient position close to Lancaster, this is a property that offers potential for buyers prepared to undertake the improvements needed.
