4 Bedroom Detached House
Brettargh Drive, Lancaster, LA1 5BN
What this property offers
About this property
Badgers Wood sits within an exclusive private development on Brettargh Drive, in the highly regarded Haverbreaks area of Lancaster. This established residential setting is known for its privacy, space and long-term appeal, while remaining within easy reach of the city centre, the university, the hospital and key road links. The elevated position is a real highlight, with far-reaching views across Lancaster and towards the Lakeland Hills beyond. From this vantage point, the outlook is wide, open and ever-changing, giving a strong sense of connection to the surrounding landscape while retaining a feeling of seclusion and calm.
About this home
The plot itself is exceptional, extending to approximately 0.61 acres and offering a rare level of privacy within such a sought-after location. The house sits comfortably within generous grounds, screened by mature greenery and boundary planting that create a secluded and sheltered environment. There is extensive driveway parking, space to manoeuvre with ease, and a clear sense of separation from neighbouring properties. The gardens provide both scale and flexibility, while the elevated setting enhances the already impressive views across the city and beyond. It is a plot that immediately stands out for its size, outlook and potential.
The existing home is a substantial and individual detached property, extending to approximately 2,863 sq ft, with a fascinating layout and enormous scope for transformation. Designed in an L-shape, the accommodation centres around a striking principal reception room measuring close to 30 feet in length, where large windows draw in natural light and frame the surrounding views. There are four generous bedrooms and a sense of space throughout that is rarely found. While the property now requires refurbishment, it offers a solid and flexible footprint, giving a future owner the freedom to reconfigure, modernise or enhance the house to suit their own vision.
Development Opportunity
In addition to the home itself, the site presents a significant development opportunity. Lancaster City Council has granted Permission in Principle for the demolition of the existing dwelling and the construction of two detached homes (Planning Application Reference: 25/01204/PIP). This opens up exciting options for developers or buyers seeking a high-quality redevelopment project in one of Lancaster’s most desirable residential locations.
The property is vacant and ready for its next chapter. Opportunities offering this combination of plot size, views, privacy and future potential are seldom available, making Badgers Wood a truly distinctive offering within the Lancaster market.
