Dukes Drive, Hoddlesden, Darwen

This mature detached house is situated in this highly sought after locality of Hoddlesden within walking distance to Hoddlesden Village Centre. It commands an elevated position in an established residential cul de sac that takes advantage of surrounding countryside views and the generous size plot backs onto open fields. In our opinion it offers substantial family sized living accommodation briefly comprising; entrance hallway, fully fitted kitchen, open plan dining room and sitting room with feature fireplace, a very generous size living room/family room with patio doors to a privately enclosed garden, a double bedroom with fitted furniture and a stylish three-piece shower room. The first floor has two more double bedrooms and a five-piece family bathroom. Gas central heating and PVC double-glazed windows are both installed. Externally there is a long driveway to a double garage and to the rear there is a generous size garden. Viewing is essential to appreciate the size of accommodation on offer.  

VALUERS COMMENTS This detached house reminded me of a 'tardis' it just keeps going! The ground floor bedroom and shower room opens up possibilities for an elderly relative or teenager craving their own space. The living room/family room is ideal for family entertaining. Even the garage is larger than average and could make a great workshop. Most windows benefit from stunning views over the rolling hills. There are plenty of countryside walks right on your doorstep as well as local amenities just around the corner including a deli, store and local pub, The Ranken Arms and the beautiful Milenium Green and woodland Walk. There is also an ofsted rated 'outstanding' primary school within walking distance.
