7 STANDEN PARK HOUSE

Park House

Exclusive to the open market for the first time since the vendors purchased the property from Gleeson Homes in 2001, this immaculately presented four bedroom property will appeal to a wide range of buyers, including families, working professionals or those looking for a secure lock up and leave. Situated in this highly sought after area just outside Lancaster City Centre and bordering Williamsons Park, with it’s own direct access. Originally designed by architect Thomas Standen in 1816, the elegant Palladian architecture of Standen Park House forms the centre piece to this private estate, set around a gravel driveway and landscaped crescent. The award-winning conversion by Gleeson Homes in 1999 provides exclusive dwellings on the outskirts of Lancaster city centre and borders a conservation area and Lancaster’s most recognizable heritage landmark, the Ashton Memorial. There is a real sense of community within the neighbourhood at Standen Park and it will certainly be something the current vendors will miss.

The location of this stunning home will appeal to a wide range of buyers; its proximity to Lancaster, the M6 and West Coast mainline makes it ideal for those looking to commute. Furthermore, there is an excellent choice of schooling close by for all ages and both the Lancaster Girls’ Grammar and Boys’ Grammar are within walking distance. With its mediaeval castle, Lancaster is a historic and vibrant city with a good choice of high street and independent shops, great restaurants and sports facilities, cinemas and theatres.
