A standout feature of the rear living area is the open aspect flow into the new kitchen which has been designed to match the period character while offering modern appeal and practicality. A range of integrated appliances includes a white ceramic sink with drainer and traditional-style mixer tap, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, as well as a range-style cooker with several electric ovens, multi-ring gas hob, and splashback and extractor hood. The cottage grey cabinetry complements the white quartz worktop and herringbone flooring.
This open plan living area to the rear has a real homely feel to it where different aspects of daily life flow together. Whether it’s breakfast with the kids before school, cooking up a hearty Sunday roast, or catching up with friends over a good bottle of red, it’s a fantastic space for all!
There is also a large utility cupboard situated off the open plan living area, adding extra practicality with storage and plumbing for the washing machine and boiler.
Bedrooms & Bathroom - Back into the hallway and the staircase boasts original carved hardwood spindles and handrail, leading up to the landing where the three well-proportioned bedrooms and family bathroom are found, and the attractive high ceilings and period features continue.
Two of the three bedrooms are generous doubles, with the front one featuring a bay window and second side window like the downstairs lounge, adding to the period charm. The other good-sized double is situated at the rear with a large window, fitted storage space, and fresh neutral decor. The family bathroom benefits from a contemporary design and four-piece suite, featuring a freestanding bathtub, walk-in corner shower, trendy wash basin with storage cabinet and WC.
Outside Space - The secluded, south-facing rear garden is quaint and has recently been relandscaped, including the patio being extended and a garden path installed with Indian stone and stone golden gravel. A Japanese acer will give beautiful shades of red when in bloom, and this lovely garden is sure to burst into vibrant splashes of colour during the spring and summer months, with mature beds and borders that complement a central lawn. The patio offers a private spot for eating outdoors on warm summer days, and the garden path leads to the detached garage with lighting and power, offering more space for storage. The garage would alternatively be suitable for use as a workshop, or for converting into a studio office or gym.
Location - Situated at the very top of Cyprus Street in a leafy green location at the foot of the West Pennine Moors and within walking distance to the lovely Whitehall Park, yet only a 5-minute drive to central Darwen, the location of this lovely home ticks lots of boxes! Not to mention the highly regarded Ashleigh Primary School within a stone’s throw.
A great selection of shops, supermarkets, pubs, cafes, and restaurants can all be found nearby, as well as transport links and leisure facilities. An even greater selection of amenities can be found further afield in the neighbouring larger towns: Blackburn to the north, and Bolton to the south.
