A rare opportunity to purchase one of Lanchester’s finest bungalows, beautifully positioned at the top of Cadger Bank—one of the village’s most sought-after addresses. This stunning two-bedroom home is almost a century old and it has been thoughtfully and meticulously renovated to an exceptionally high standard over the past 18 months.
Renovated to Perfection
No expense has been spared in this transformation, with over £50,000 invested and more than 2,500 man hours dedicated to the renovation. Quality materials and craftsmanship shine throughout, including:

A solid oak kitchen, professionally painted in cream and topped with Delft pottery pearl handles, complemented by a Belfast sink, chrome taps, and terracotta floor tiles.
