Situated in a nice, quiet location on this very convenient and sought-after modern residential development. It is being sold with no upward chain.
In our opinion the property provides ideal family accommodation (particularly suitable for those with elderly relatives or requiring a disability element). Briefly comprising an entrance porch, hallway, a modern ground floor shower room/wet room, a spacious lounge with PVC double-glazed patio doors leading to a conservatory, a separate dining room, a sitting room (5th bedroom option) with PVC double-glazed patio doors onto the rear garden, modern fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a utility area.

VALUERS COMMENTS For any buyers living with elderly relatives, or teenagers looking for their own space, this house would be ideal as there is a ground floor wet room and optional fifth bedroom with garden access. The integrated garage was professionally converted in 2018 with full building regulations applied. The three downstairs reception rooms (in addition to the conservatory) can be arranged for multi-purpose use. This lovely property benefits from a LIFETIME Council Tax % discount granted when the wet room was installed in 2019. The main bedroom has fabulous views overlooking fields, the block paved driveway offers ample parking, and the property is immaculate throughout. The house is light and spacious, the Garden Room/Office/Bar provides additional space, it's the icing on the cake! This prime location gives access to shops and schools, Darwen Golf Club, St Edward's Primary School and Darwen Vale High School, and easy access to Junction 4, M65 and main bus routes. Viewing is very strongly recommended.
