## Description

We are delighted to present for sale this beautifully maintained four-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace, offering spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors.

Perfectly positioned for everyday convenience, the property is just a short walk from Lancaster Roads shopping amenities, including Sainsburys and Asda supermarkets, well-regarded primary and secondary schools, Morecambe Bay Medical Practice/Queen Victoria Surgery, and excellent transport links such as Morecambe Train Station and regular bus services.

The generous layout begins with a welcoming entrance vestibule and hallway with staircase to the first floor. The ground floor features a bay-fronted lounge with a feature log burner, flowing seamlessly into the dining room creating an open-plan living space. A separate kitchen completes this level, with a four-compartment, seven-burner gas range cooker, ideal for family cooking.

On the first floor, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a fully tiled three-piece bathroom suite, and a separate WC - an especially practical feature for families. The second floor is naturally bright, enhanced by a Velux window, and offers two additional double bedrooms. The property also benefits from a useful basement accessed via the kitchen, providing excellent storage.

Externally, the property offers low maintenance Indian flagstone yard both front & rear, with the rear giving access into a rear alleyway from a timber gate.

We feel this property is truly ready to move into, held to a high standard throughout. Perfect home for first time buyers and families seeking spacious and flexible living. Internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the space on offer.
