The property is situated in a most desirable location, just off Blackburn Road, within the popular locality of Sharples.

The family accommodation extends to in excess of 1,304 square feet in total, entering via the welcoming reception hallway with its spindled staircase rising to the first floor, where one is immediately enveloped by the warm and inviting ambience which is so prevalent throughout. The quality wooden flooring links the ground floor living spaces perfectly, creating a seamless flow as one proceeds through into the comfortable 14’ lounge, which is flooded by natural light via the gorgeous feature bay window to the front elevation and enjoys a cosy atmosphere which is perfectly conducive to an evening of relaxation. One continues through into the superb adjoining open plan kitchen/diner/family room, with the option to open up or close off these individual spaces, as required, via the glazed double doors, which will be particularly useful when one is entertaining those most populous of gatherings, with guests also able to spill out onto the garden via the uPVC double glazed patio doors for an after-dinner glass of something sparkling. This wonderfully sociable environment is the epitome of modern day living and undoubtedly the hub of this home, with designated areas for cooking, dining and relaxing. The kitchen area is comprehensively fitted with an extensive range of high-gloss wall and base units in white, with contrasting black granite work surfaces and incorporating a host of integrated appliances, including high-level double electric oven, halogen hob with overhead extractor canopy and under-counter fridge.

Up on the first floor, the landing provides access to the three bright and appealing bedrooms – two doubles benefitting from built-in wardrobes and a single. The accommodation is completed by the sumptuously appointed family bathroom, which has been comprehensively updated in recent years, being a beautiful space in which to preen and polish before a night on the town. This fully tiled space is effortlessly stylish and fitted with a four-piece suite in classic white with trendy black fittings, comprising of WC, vanity wash hand basin, free-standing bath and separate shower cubicle.

Externally, the front garden is mainly laid to lawn, with mature planted borders and off-road parking facilities provided on the paved driveway, which also gives access to the attached 26’ garage. Aside from providing secure vehicular parking and storage facilities, the garage also incorporates a handy utility area in which to keep the laundry out of view of unexpected visitors. The enclosed rear garden boasts generous proportions and a great deal of privacy, with the little ones able to burn off their energy on the lawn whilst the adults keep a watchful eye from either the block-paved patio area or decked seating area, which ensure there are plenty of options on which to site a rattan sofa or dining set. For those green-fingered buyers who enjoy a taste of the good life, the raised planters provide the opportunity to create one’s own private allotment area for their fruit and vegetables.

We would anticipate that this lovely home will be in high demand and would highly recommend an early appointment to view.
