No chain! Situated on a large corner plot in a quiet cul-de-sac within the well-established residential area of Cranberry, Darwen, this semi-detached dormer bungalow has been fully renovated to create an impressive home which is ready to move into with new, high-quality fittings and finishes throughout.
A brief overview of the ground floor accommodation includes an open plan kitchen, dining and living room, front lounge, spacious entrance hall with cloak store and separate downstairs WC, and a large double bedroom or versatile reception room. Upstairs are three more double bedrooms with an en-suite to the master, and a family bathroom. Externally the large corner plot features lawns to the front and side, a generous, paved back garden and a gated tandem drive.
Living Space - The open plan kitchen is bright and airy with a modern appeal featuring a solid granite worktop that wraps around the space and forms a breakfast bar. Within the sleek minimalist cabinetry is a range of integrated appliances, including a Neff oven, four-zone hob with downdraft extractor, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge-freezer, and an inset sink with 3-in-1 instant hot, chilled and sparkling tap. The kitchen’s open aspect to the adjacent space with wall-mounted TV point is ideal for use as a dining room or family room where cooking, dining and socialising come together in one convenient space.
The main lounge is situated at the front of the property with stylish wall cladding which matches the TV point in the open plan living area. Another versatile room is also found at the front of the property which gives flexibility in its use and adds further practicality for family life – if not used as a fourth bedroom, it would alternatively be suited to use as another reception room.
A spacious entrance hall connects the downstairs living space with a handy cloak store, and a spacious modern downstairs WC finished with fully tiled, marble-effect walls and floor, and a complementary grey WC and vanity unit. There’s also a matt black heated towel rail which matches the matt black fittings throughout the property, further complementing the oak doors.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms - With a part-sloped ceiling and two large Velux windows, the master bedrooms boasts a unique design and features a three-piece en-suite with more matt black fittings on the walk-in corner shower that add stylish contrast to the marble-effect tiles and matching WC and vanity basin.
The second and third bedrooms are both well proportioned for family life with ample space for double beds and far-reaching scenic views toward Darwen Tower and the surrounding countryside. The smart interior design and modern finishes continue in the family bathroom, where a three-piece suite comprises a large walk-in shower, and a WC and vanity unit with integral storage.
The fourth bedroom on the ground floor benefits from easy access to the downstairs WC, and could possibly be an ideal setup for somebody requiring mostly single level living.
Recent Refurbishment - Having undergone a full refurbishment, the property benefits from a comprehensive list of new features, including a new roof, windows, external doors, internal doors, flooring, boiler and radiators, full rewire, external rendering and fencing, in addition to the installation of new cosmetic finishes and decorating throughout.
Outside Space - The large tandem drive provides plenty of space for private parking, ideal for buyers with multiple vehicles. In addition to the front and side lawns, the rear of the property with large patio is west facing which allows it to get plenty of sun through the afternoons and evenings. Despite its generous size, this corner plot is easy maintenance too.
Location - The convenience of nearby amenities allows this home to be practical for daily life, while being just a hop skip and jump from beautiful countryside and green spaces including Jacks Key reservoir and endless moorland walks – the best of both worlds.
Darwen offers a selection of amenities including supermarkets, pubs, bars, restaurants, leisure facilities and good schooling options. Nearby transport links include Darwen train station with links to Manchester and Preston city centres, and Junction 4 of the M65 provides easy access to the national motorway network, plus the A666 leads to the neighbouring towns of Bolton and Blackburn.
