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. **Key Features** Semi-detached home Three double bedrooms | one with built-in wardrobes Open-plan living and dining with open fire Conservatory overlooking the garden Kitchen with separate utility and under-stairs storage Bathroom with three-piece suite Wrap-around garden Double glazing throughout (including conservatory) Gas central heating – boiler installed 7 years ago, under warranty and serviced annually Freehold No onward chain EPC Rating: C ## Property Photos - ![Welcome to Patterdale Road](/listings/photos/167892176/2126066) - Welcome to Patterdale Road - ![Cosy Lounge with Open Fire](/listings/photos/167892176/2126067) - Cosy Lounge with Open Fire - ![Open Plan Living Dining](/listings/photos/167892176/2126068) - Open Plan Living Dining - ![Kitchen](/listings/photos/167892176/2126069) - Kitchen - ![Cosy Lounge with Open Fire](/listings/photos/167892176/2126070) - Cosy Lounge with Open Fire - ![Kitchen](/listings/photos/167892176/2126071) - Kitchen - ![Utility Room and under stairs storage](/listings/photos/167892176/2126072) - Utility Room and under stairs storage - ![Double Bedroom with fitted wardrobes](/listings/photos/167892176/2126073) - Double Bedroom with fitted wardrobes - ![Second Double Bedroom](/listings/photos/167892176/2126074) - Second Double Bedroom - ![Third Double Bedroom](/listings/photos/167892176/2126075) - Third Double Bedroom - ![Bathroom](/listings/photos/167892176/2126076) - Bathroom - ![Sun Room](/listings/photos/167892176/2126077) - Sun Room - ![Wrap around garden at the front of the property](/listings/photos/167892176/2126078) - Wrap around garden at the front of the property - ![Spacious Flagged Garden with Mature Shrubs and Pond](/listings/photos/167892176/2126079) - Spacious Flagged Garden with Mature Shrubs and Pond - ![Spacious Flagged Garden with Mature Shrubs and Pond](/listings/photos/167892176/2126080) - Spacious Flagged Garden with Mature Shrubs and Pond ## Floorplans - ![All](/listings/photos/167892176/2126081) - All ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC 1](/listings/photos/167892176/2126082) - EPC 1 ## FENSA Certificates This property has 1 FENSA certificate(s) on record. ### FENSA Certificate #8908196 - **Address:** 71 Patterdale Road, LANCASTER, LA1 3HS - **Certificate Issued:** 11/06/2012 - **Work Completed:** 09/05/2012 - **Items:** 2 window(s) ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
