3 Bedroom Semi Detached Bungalow, Blackwood Place, Bowerham | Spacious corner plot bungalow

Blackwood Place, Lancaster, LA1 4HS

Location

Blackwood Place sits in a superb position within Bowerham, one of south Lancaster’s most popular residential areas. This is a part of the city that works well for families, downsizers and buyers who want practical everyday living without feeling too far from green space. Burrow Beck runs behind the property, with Burrow Beck Playing Fields both close by for walks, children’s play and time outdoors. Local shops, schools, healthcare facilities and regular bus services are all within easy reach, while Lancaster city centre, the university, the hospital and wider road links are straightforward to access. It is a location that offers convenience, space and a settled residential feel.

Property information

Set on a substantial corner plot of approximately 383 sq m, this three-bedroom dormer bungalow is a great example of the spacious homes that have made this part of Bowerham so popular. With a broad frontage, a generous driveway, a very large double garage and a south-facing wraparound garden, the home immediately stands out for the lifestyle it could offer.

The accommodation begins with a useful entrance sunroom, ideal for coats, shoes and everyday comings and goings before stepping into the main hallway. The living room is a comfortable, well-proportioned space with a large front window, decorative fireplace and room for relaxed seating. It has the feel of a proper everyday sitting room; a place for quieter evenings, family visits and a slower pace of life.

To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with traditional wooden units, granite-effect work surfaces, an integrated oven and hob, and space for freestanding appliances. It is a practical working kitchen with access towards the conservatory and garden. A separate dining room sits just off the kitchen, giving the home a second reception space that works well for family meals, entertaining or more flexible everyday use. This room was originally designed as a fourth bedroom and could potentially be returned to a ground-floor bedroom with the addition of a stud wall, depending on a buyer’s needs.

The conservatory is a real bonus, stretching across the rear and creating a bright sitting area overlooking the garden. With full-height glazing, garden views and direct access outside, it is easy to picture this as the spot for morning coffee, reading, or simply enjoying the outlook across the patio and planting.

Upstairs, the landing leads to three bedrooms. There are two comfortable doubles, both enjoying good natural light, along with a traditional single bedroom that could suit a child’s room, study or occasional guest space. The family bathroom was renovated approximately four years ago and is fitted with a generous four-piece suite including a bath, separate walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.

Outside, the plot is one of the home’s biggest selling points. The south-facing wraparound garden begins at the front, curves around the side and continues towards the rear, where Burrow Beck runs behind the home. This gives the property a real feeling of space around it, with far more outdoor room than first meets the eye from the photographs.

To the rear, there is a flagstone seating area with established planting, raised beds and direct access from the conservatory. Beyond the photographed areas, the garden continues further around the property, including an additional section with a greenhouse. There is genuine potential for buyers who enjoy gardening, growing, outdoor storage or simply want more usable space.

The frontage is equally impressive, with lawn, planting and a wide driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles. This leads to a very large double garage, ideal for cars, storage, hobbies or workshop use. Combined with the size of the plot, the wraparound garden and the Bowerham location, the outside space is a major part of what makes this home such a rare opportunity.
