About this property

Secret property alert! Tucked away in the very heart of Lancaster city centre lies a truly special home — a hidden oasis offering charm, character and complete individuality. Access to the home is via an unassuming secure doorway on Meeting House Lane... then through two gates, down a discreet pathway which opens out revealing this detached stone-built property which is the definition of a one-off residence; combining privacy, history and contemporary comfort in equal measure.

The secluded setting is immediately captivating: Utterly peaceful, with an enclosed lawned front garden creating a retreat from the bustle of city life, while a rear courtyard adds further outdoor space to enjoy. A standout feature is the exceptional detached garden room (constructed in 2021), complete with power, lighting, sliding patio doors and its own WC. Whether used as a stylish home office, creative studio, gym or client-facing workspace, it adds a rare level of versatility that truly sets this property apart.

Inside, the home is equally impressive. A covered open porch with double doors opens into a beautifully designed open-plan living space, thoughtfully zoned into kitchen, dining and lounge areas. Full of warmth and character, the room features a contemporary wood-burning effect living flame gas fire, an attractive kitchen (replaced in 2021) with island, a striking spiral staircase and an abundance of windows that flood the space with natural light while maintaining a wonderfully cosy atmosphere.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a stylish four-piece bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive — an expansive and characterful space with a contemporary colour palette, charming low windows and a gently sloping ceiling that enhances its unique appeal without compromising head height. The second bedroom is another generous double, while the third comfortably accommodates a small double bed.

Properties of this nature rarely come to market. Peaceful, private and full of personality, this hidden gem offers the feeling of being tucked away from the world while remaining moments from everything Lancaster has to offer. Enhanced further by the addition of the superb garden room, it is perfectly suited to modern living, especially for those running a business from home or seeking inspiring flexible space.

Offered for sale chain free.
