Sat at the bottom of Freehold back onto the canal we find Wolseley Street. Part of a series of cul-de-sacs this area gets very little through traffic. Freehold as a whole is one of Lancaster's most popular areas to live, with its proximity to the city centre, Williamson Park, and all of the best primary and secondary schools.
Mainly consisting of two and three-story terrace houses this part of Lancaster offers lots of period charm as you walk the streets. With easy access to the motorway and to both universities as well it's easy to see why so many people choose to call this home.
This property is in a unique position as it has been undergoing a full renovation and is now in a position where someone else can come and take up the reins. Blessed with its location as the backyard backs directly onto the canal and has now had its cellar fully converted to create a whole new level opening up access and its usability. The house has been re-wired and had underfloor heating added as well as a new boiler, the kitchen is in the process of being relocated to the below-ground floor level along with a new utility room & dining space. Drop lighting alongside the freshly skimmed walls contrasts perfectly with the rustic feel of the original stone steps and flooring. There is currently no kitchen fitted but it's clear to see from the placement of fixtures, fittings & plug sockets where it was due to go.
These changes have opened up the ground floor level to offer much more living space as well as a home office overlooking the canal. Stone floors have been added to bring that sense of period charm these houses are famous for and also match with the stone hearth in the rear reception room. Upstairs has required less work but we do find the stunning four-piece bathroom with a marvelous free-standing bath and separate shower to go with the ultra-sleek white metro tiles. Obviously a sign of intent from the original plans. Two double bedrooms are available with small cast iron fireplaces again lending that period feel to each room.
As mentioned there is some finishing off required but most of the heavy lifting has been done, new flooring and decorating will be required along with adding a kitchen and creating a utility space. It doesn't take much to see the potential of this home as well are sure you will agree.

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.
In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:
avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.
min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
