About
The Location Leachfield Road sits within the well-connected village of Galgate, a location that continues to appeal to buyers who want a balance between countryside surroundings and everyday convenience.
Positioned just south of Lancaster, Galgate offers easy access to the city centre, Lancaster University and the M6, making it a practical choice for commuters, professionals and those connected to the university.
The village itself has a welcoming, established feel, with a mix of long-term residents and newer buyers drawn to its quieter pace of life.
What makes this setting particularly appealing is the access to open space.
The Lancaster Canal runs through the village, offering scenic walks and cycling routes, while the nearby countryside provides a sense of escape just moments from home.
Local amenities include a convenience store, pub and regular bus routes, meaning daily essentials are close at hand.
It’s a location that suits those looking for a project in a setting that already feels established and well placed.
The Property Set back behind a driveway, this semi-detached bungalow immediately stands out for its footprint and the amount of space it offers.
Step inside and you are welcomed by a wide entrance hallway with a galleried landing above, creating a real sense of openness from the outset.
The main living room sits to the front, centred around a feature fireplace and a large window that brings in natural light.
To the rear, the property opens up further with an extended kitchen diner that runs the depth of the home.
There is plenty of room here to reconfigure into a modern open-plan space, with direct access into a second reception room or garden room, ideal for creating a more sociable layout.
Also on the ground floor is a generous double bedroom and a bathroom, both well proportioned and offering scope for updating to suit modern tastes.
Upstairs, the space continues with a large double bedroom and a substantial walk-in airing cupboard.
For those looking to maximise the footprint, this area offers clear potential to rework into an additional bedroom, subject to the relevant works, making the home adaptable as needs change.
Outside, the property continues to deliver. The rear garden is a real highlight, with a long lawn bordered by established planting, mature shrubs and a dedicated fruit growing area.
It’s a space that has been well cared for over time and offers both privacy and potential for landscaping.
To the side, a full-length garage with a recently installed electric door provides excellent storage or workshop space, complemented by driveway parking to the front.
