6 bedroom character propertyHala Road, Lancaster, LA1 4QJ

Old Hala Farm is a beautiful 6 bedroom property, steeped with character and charm. The house is very spacious, and retains many of it's historic features. Internally the house has three reception rooms, six bedrooms a family bathroom, a shower room and cellar. The house dates back to some time between 1688 and 1698, and has a superb detached barn at the rear. This excellent barn has so much potential, what might you do with it? The home is believed to be one of Lancaster's oldest homes, and has a rich history. Today it stands as a reminder of the solid foundations and values set out by our early Georgian ancestors. On the stone lintel above the door reads EM IM 1698, a reference to residents John and Elizabeth Mackerall. Mr and Mrs Mackerall ran a wholesome farm of 25 cattle and 50 sheep whilst also growing crops. It is located in the Scotforth area of South Lancaster, and is well situated for access to Lancaster City centre (only a 5 minute drive or 20 minutes on foot); both Universities and other local amenities are easily accessible on foot, bicycle and via bus services located nearby. The House is rightly a Grade II listed property. Old Hala Farm was reputedly once the gatehouse to Lancaster, whilst its barn to the rear was the coach house.
