The Property
Perfectly positioned for family life, The Knoll combines exceptional space, character and convenience in one of Lancaster’s most sought-after locations. Just a few hundred metres’ walk brings you to the historic Castle Hill with its iconic Priory and Castle, the city centre shops and cafés, and the railway station, offering direct connections to Glasgow, Manchester and London Euston in approximately 2 hours 20 minutes. Highly regarded local schooling, including the boys’ and girls’ Grammar Schools, Lancaster University and the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, are all within easy reach, making this an outstanding longterm family home.
Inside, The Knoll offers an abundance of flexible living space designed to grow with a family. The generous ground floor provides a wonderful balance of formal and informal rooms, including an impressive drawing room ideal for entertaining, a welcoming dining room for family gatherings and celebrations, and a spacious kitchen perfectly placed at the heart of daily life. A separate snug on the upper floor offers a cosy retreat for teenagers or a quiet homework and relaxation space, while the additional bedroom accommodation across the upper floors provides excellent flexibility for larger families, guests or multigenerational living. To the ground floor is also an additional bedroom which is a versatile space offering either accommodation or perhaps office space.
Externally
Outside, the grounds provide a safe and inspiring environment for family life. Set within a generous plot of over one acre, the gardens are unusually private for a home so close to the city centre. Mature trees and established planting create a peaceful setting, while the large, south-facing level lawn offers ample space for children to play, outdoor dining, garden parties and summer entertaining. The garden also features attractive seating and entertaining areas, perfect for relaxing with family and friends. Practicality has not been overlooked. The recent addition of the bespoke Hampton Crown Pavilion is brilliant and truly the perfect place to entertain guests in comfort, well into the evening!
