Description
Patterdale Road is part of the Ridge area of Lancaster, a long-standing residential community that is well served by local amenities. Within walking distance, you’ll find a convenience store and a post office on Ullswater Road. While larger supermarkets and Medical Centres are only a short drive away. For families, the area is close to several schools, including both primary and secondary options, and there are parks and play areas nearby. The Lancaster Canal is easily accessed for dog walks, runs, and cycling, while the River Lune and its footpaths offer further green space.
Transport connections are excellent – regular bus services run into the city centre, the universities and the hospital, while the Bay Gateway ensures quick road links to the M6 and beyond. Lancaster city centre itself is within a 20 minute walk, offering shops, restaurants, and cultural venues, as well as a direct train service to Preston, Manchester and London.
Property Details
Available with no onward chain, this three-bedroom semi-detached home has been well cared for since 2004 and offers a flexible layout ready for its next owner to make their own.
On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads into the open-plan living and dining area. A focal point is the working open fire, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, while sliding doors connect into the conservatory which enjoys a pleasant garden outlook. The fitted kitchen provides plenty of storage and workspace, with access into a useful utility area and under-stairs storage.
Upstairs, the home offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which benefits from built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite.
The property has benefited from continued maintenance over the years, including the installation of a new boiler just seven years ago (still under warranty and serviced annually), and replacement windows to both the house and conservatory.
Outside, the wrap-around garden provides lawned areas and planting, with space to sit out and enjoy the surroundings.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
