Location
Larch Lane is a quiet cul-de-sac within Duston, a well-established residential area on the western side of Northampton. Its position away from through traffic gives it a peaceful residential feel, while local amenities, schools and open green space remain readily accessible.

Duston provides a useful range of day-to-day amenities, including local shops, cafés, schools, parks, community facilities and sports provision. Northampton town centre and the larger retail parks on the western side of the town offer a broader choice of shopping, leisure and commercial services.

For outdoor recreation, nearby Harlestone Firs is a particular draw, with attractive woodland walks through mature tree cover. The area is popular with walkers, runners and dog owners, and provides a valuable green space close to home.

From Duston, routes lead readily back into Northampton town centre and out towards neighbouring areas including Harlestone, Dallington and Upton. The property is also conveniently placed for the A45 and wider road network, making it a practical choice for commuters and those requiring access across the wider Northampton area.

Accommodation:
Entrance Hall
The property is entered from the side elevation through a part-glazed panelled door into the entrance hall. The hall is finished with decorative lining paper to the walls and cut-pile carpet tiles. Panelled internal doors open to the principal rooms, several incorporating glazed toplights which allow borrowed light into the central hallway. There is a useful built-in storage cupboard suitable for coats and shoes, with an additional high-level cupboard above.

Sitting/Dining Room
The sitting/dining room is a generous, open-plan reception space with clearly defined sitting and dining areas. The sitting area occupies the larger part of the room and is well lit by a full-height window to the front elevation. A decorative fireplace forms a focal point, with a timber surround, polished tiled hearth and inset flame-effect electric fire. The walls are finished with embossed decorative paper, and the floor is laid with timber-effect laminate boards. The dining area provides space for a table and chairs and benefits from additional natural light through a three-unit casement window to the side elevation. A part-glazed door connects directly with the kitchen, giving the layout a practical relationship between the dining and cooking spaces.

Kitchen
The kitchen is arranged in a galley-style layout and fitted with a range of base and wall-mounted units with light oak-effect doors, complemented by roll-top work surfaces. A three-unit window provides natural light and ventilation, with the stainless steel one-and-a-half bowl sink and chrome mixer tap positioned beneath. White metro-style tiling forms a clean splashback above the work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a four-burner gas hob, electric oven and chrome extractor hood with light over. The wall-mounted modern combination boiler is also positioned within the kitchen, and the floor is finished with decorative sheet vinyl.

Grounds
Front Aspect
Pleasantly positioned along Larch Lane, the property is set back from the road behind an open front garden, with a dropped kerb leading onto a generous block-paved driveway. This provides off-road parking for several vehicles and continues beneath a carport towards a detached single garage. The front garden is principally laid to lawn, edged by low-level planting and established shrubs, including lavender, contributing to the property’s well-kept appearance.

Rear Garden
Gated side access leads through to the rear garden, where a paved terrace extends across much of the rear elevation, adjoining the conservatory and providing a practical seating area. Patio doors connect the conservatory directly with the terrace, while a timber door gives access to the detached garage.

The main garden is laid to lawn, bordered by a variety of established shrubs and perennial planting. To the rear right-hand side, a hardstanding area accommodates a large aluminium-framed greenhouse and a separate timber-clad garden shed with double doors and fixed glazed windows, offering useful storage or potting space. The garden is enclosed principally by timber post-and-panel fencing, creating a defined and manageable outdoor space.

Garage
The detached garage is of brick construction with a modern, electrically operated roller shutter door to the front and a ledged and braced timber personnel door opening to the rear garden. Internally, the garage has a solid concrete floor, with power and lighting installed.
