Derwent Road, Lancaster, LA1

The Location

Freehold is one of our most requested areas of Lancaster. Probably because it's one of the greenest!

Derwent Road is a prestigious street with many grand character homes. Many of these homes have large gardens. Several have stunning bay views due to their elevated raised-up position. It is home to many of Lancaster's doctors, professors, and academics. Residents initially move here due to the sought-after grammar schools and excellent motorway links. They like the fact you can walk into the city, yet just a 5-minute stroll brings you to the park.

Ask a local what they love and they will tell you that there is a great sense of community, whether it's just getting to know your neighbours through to joining in with the local events at The Gregson Centre. We love it as it's one of the few places you can get a period home with a garden!
