4 Bedroom Terraced House

11 Queen Street, Lancaster, LA1 1RS

Location

Tucked just away from the bustle of Lancaster’s centre, Queen Street is one of those locations that feels quietly special. Set within a conservation area known for its handsome Georgian stone façades, the street has a calm, residential feel despite being only moments from the heart of the city. Residents enjoy the convenience of independent cafés, restaurants, shops and cultural venues all within walking distance, while the Lancaster Canal sits just at the end of the street, leading to scenic walks towards Fairfield Nature Reserve and popular spots such as The Water Witch. Permit parking keeps traffic largely limited to residents, giving the street a relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere that’s rarely found so close to the centre.

The home

Behind the attractive stone frontage and polished blue front door sits a four-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse arranged across four floors, filled with original period detail and generous proportions. The hallway immediately sets the tone with its Victorian tiled floor and high ceilings. To the front, the living room is a welcoming space with hardwood flooring, a tall sash window and built-in shelving framing the original fireplace. Towards the rear, the dining room is a standout room in the home – a beautifully proportioned space with tall ceilings, oak flooring, an Inglenook fireplace with gas log burner effect stove, and original cabinetry and shelving either side of the chimney breast. The open staircase rising from the room adds to the sense of character and flow.

The kitchen beyond is practical and well arranged, renovated in 2009 with off-white cabinetry, granite-effect worktops and integrated appliances including oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer. A glazed door leads directly out to the enclosed rear yard, a surprisingly peaceful outdoor space with mature planting beds, brick paving and two useful stone outhouses providing laundry and storage space.

Below the ground floor is a particularly impressive cellar. Unlike many period basements, this one has plastered walls, LVT flooring and lighting already installed, making it ideal for high-quality storage with clear potential for further use.

On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms alongside the family bathroom, which was renovated in 2011 and features a three-piece suite with bath and overhead shower. The front bedroom spans the width of the house and showcases the home’s character beautifully with high ceilings, hardwood floors and a striking marble mantelpiece with Victorian tiled fireplace.

The second floor continues the sense of space with a large double bedroom across the front, complete with its own ensuite shower room. Alongside sits a fourth bedroom that works perfectly as a bedroom, guest room or home office. Above this level is a plastered loft with a Velux window, accessed via ladder, offering excellent additional storage.
