Property Oracle says ..
This property is a five-bedroom, two-bathroom terraced house situated on Castle Hill in Lancaster city centre. Its location within a prestigious historic area, close to Lancaster Castle and Lancaster Priory, presents a significant appeal. The close proximity to schools, and excellent transport links into the heart of Lancaster’s city centre, and its connections to the North West rail network make this an attractive address. However, the property is in considerable need of renovation. The provided photographs indicate outdated finishes, worn carpeting and flooring, and some potential signs of dampness. The interior requires a substantial refurbishment, which must be factored into the overall cost. The lack of any substantial garden or outdoor space is a limitation, but unsurprising given its location. Overall, this represents an opportunity for a buyer willing to undertake a comprehensive renovation project to create a desirable family home in a prime Lancaster location. Given the Grade II listing on the property, this will affect the type of renovation that can be done, adding potentially to the cost of renovating. Further professional inspections and detailed cost estimates are strongly recommended before committing to a purchase.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
