The Location
Brookfield Terrace sits along Bay Horse Road in Bay Horse, a rural setting on the southern edge of Lancaster. Surrounded by open countryside, this is a location that offers a quieter pace of life while still keeping everyday connections within easy reach. From the front of the terrace there are open views across fields, and the surrounding landscape provides plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors. It’s a setting that naturally appeals to people looking to step away from the busier parts of the city and enjoy more space around them.
Despite the peaceful setting, the property remains well positioned for travel. Lancaster city centre can be reached within a short drive, offering shops, cafés, restaurants and direct rail services on the West Coast Main Line. Nearby amenities can be found in Galgate, while the M6 is easily accessible for commuting north towards Lancaster and the Lake District or south towards Preston and Manchester. For people wanting countryside surroundings without feeling remote, Bay Horse offers a well-balanced location.
The Property
Set behind a newly re-bricked frontage with driveway parking, this traditional mid-terrace immediately feels welcoming. A practical entrance porch provides a useful space for coats and boots before stepping into the main living room. The lounge is a comfortable space centred around an original Victorian iron fireplace with decorative tiled inserts and a slate hearth, giving the room a strong focal point. Wooden internal doors and simple neutral décor create a relaxed feel, while the room flows naturally through to a second reception area at the rear.
This additional living space works well as a dining area and offers flexibility for day-to-day living. There is useful storage beneath the stairs and space for a dining table, making it a practical hub between the lounge and the kitchen. The kitchen itself is fitted with shaker-style units and wood-effect worktops, creating a clean and functional workspace with an integrated oven and hob, along with space for additional appliances. A window above the sink brings in natural light and looks out towards the garden.
Upstairs, the accommodation includes two bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The main bedroom stretches across the front of the property, with two windows that frame open views across the surrounding fields. The second bedroom is a well-proportioned single that could also work as a home office or guest room. The bathroom sits to the rear and has been updated with a contemporary suite including a bath with rainfall shower over, stone-style tiling and a window overlooking the garden. Outside, the property continues to impress with a newly flagged rear patio leading to a generous lawned garden. Mature planting lines the borders and a pathway leads to a seating area and storage shed, while the garden backs directly onto open fields, reinforcing the rural feel of the setting.

Application & Viewing Information
If you have seen our virtual viewing video, and are interested in applying for the property please follow the link to the application page (This may only appear on the web version rather than the app). We will need one application per household. The landlord will make a decision on which applicant they wish to proceed with and their decision will be final. If your application is accepted, we will then be able to get a physical viewing booked in.
Reposit
We’ve partnered with a company called Reposit who offer an alternative to paying a cash deposit. By using Reposit you can save a lot of money upfront as you will only need to pay the Reposit fee of £219.23 instead of a cash deposit which will be £1096.00. The Reposit fee is not refundable at the end of the tenancy. You can use the money you save to spend on something you actually want!
Please note that just like a normal deposit, you are still liable for any valid, end of tenancy charges. The difference with Reposit is that you keep control of your cash and only pay these if they actually occur at the end of your tenancy, rather than paying at the start. If you stay beyond a 12 month period, a £30 charge will be payable to reposit once a year to continue the cover.
This is optional and a normal deposit scheme is also available. Reposit is subject to certain referencing criteria and may not be granted following referencing.
Cost Information
If your application is successful and, following a viewing, you proceed to the referencing stage, a holding deposit equal to £219.23 will be taken via our referencing platform Let Alliance this will then go towards your first month's rent when the tenancy starts.
The holding deposit will be retained by the agent if the tenancy falls through for one of the following reasons:
* You decide not to rent the property
* You give wrong or misleading information
* You cannot pass a 'right to rent' immigration check
The standard deposit on this property will be £1096.00
