Location
There‘s something special about DeVitre Cottages. Located on Ashton Road, this is a home which feels semi-rural, yet is just a short drive from the heart of our historic city. This is a home which is surrounded by greenery. You are on the edge of the countryside, your back garden backs onto fields with cows, yet you are still just a short drive from Booths Supermarket, Lancaster Golf Club and two of the area‘s key employers - the hospital and university.
Families will be pleased to know that Ripley School is just a 5 minute walk.
About this home
Situated in a sought-after location, this stone-built two-bedroom period home carries a rich history, once under the ownership of the NHS over 30 years ago. In the past decade, the current owners have meticulously upgraded and redesigned the property to enhance functionality and flow, creating a seamless living experience.
Enter through the pale sage green door into the inviting living room, adorned with high ceilings and the original parquet wood floor. A cosy wood-burning stove is nestled within a stone fireplace, exuding warmth and character. The lounge includes original cupboards and built-in bookshelves.
The kitchen boasts modern white high gloss units with integrated appliances and stylish solid oak work surfaces, chosen to suit the character of the home but with a more modern twist. To the rear, a practical laundry area featuring a Belfast sink and laundry provisions adds convenience to the home.
Upstairs, two generously sized double bedrooms await both with pleasing green outlooks, along with a refreshing white three-piece bathroom suite elegantly finished with Metro-style tiling.
Externally, the property offers a charming front courtyard and a secluded rear courtyard with additional outbuildings for storage. Pass through the rear courtyard gate to discover a beautiful garden, currently open to the neighbouring property but easily adaptable for privacy with a fence.
This home presents a blend of historical charm and contemporary upgrades, providing a comfortable retreat in a serene environment.

As referred to in our privacy policy, we use cookies and related technologies, such as beacons, pixels, tags and local storage, to provide you with the services accessible through our website and our apps (together, “PropertyHeads” or our “Services”). We use these technologies to provide, protect and improve PropertyHeads, as well as to understand and measure how you use and interact with it.
This policy explains how we use cookies and related technology on PropertyHeads. By accessing or using PropertyHeads, you consent to our use of these technologies as described in this policy. Please do not use PropertyHeads if you are not comfortable with the ways in which we use cookies and related technologies.
What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file containing a unique identifier that is placed in the web browser of your computer or mobile device. Cookies and related technologies, such as tracking pixels, enable our systems to recognize your device and report information back to us. Such recognition helps the efficient operation of PropertyHeads, including our website and apps.
Does PropertyHeads Use Cookies?
Yes, like most websites and social networks, we use cookies in the course of providing you with our Services.
What Cookies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies.
We use a session cookie to identify you during a particular visit to PropertyHeads. Session cookies expire after a short time, or when you close your web browser or app after using PropertyHeads.
We use a persistent cookie to identify you over a long period of time. (For example, if you asked us to keep you signed in, we would use a persistent cookie for that purpose.) Persistent cookies remain on your device for the set period of time specified in the cookie.
We use cookies to operate and improve PropertyHeads, specifically:
To authenticate you and secure our Services: We use cookies to monitor login, session and status data. This allows us to know, for example, whether you are logged in.
To remember your settings and preferences: We use cookies to recognize your browser and remember your preferences. For example, we may use cookies to remember your language preferences.
To carry out analytics and research: We use cookies to understand your use of PropertyHeads and how we can improve our offerings. For example, we use cookies to track whether you open emails we send you.
Third-Party Cookies:
Facebook: If you register or sign in using Facebook, a Facebook cookie is set to help track your log-in.
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, including Google Analytics cookies, to collect anonymous traffic data to help us analyze how members and visitors access and use PropertyHeads, and for other Analytics services relating to website activity and internet usage.
Third-Party Cookies From Content Shared By Members: PropertyHeads members may share content on PropertyHeads that originates from a third-party website or service, and that third-party website or service may set its own cookies when you interact with that content. For example, if a member posts a video from YouTube on PropertyHeads, YouTube may set a cookie when you click to watch the video.
What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
