Old Gates Drive, Blackburn

A beautifully presented three-bedroom detached family home, occupying a fantastic position on Old Gates Drive in Blackburn and offered to the market with no onward chain.

Having been modernised throughout, this is a property that perfectly combines contemporary living with the space and practicality required from a genuine family home. With a stunning open-plan kitchen, cosy separate lounge, conservatory and a fantastic converted garage, there is far more to this home than initially meets the eye.

The ground floor has been thoughtfully designed around modern family life, with a beautiful open-plan kitchen and dining space forming the heart of the home. A central island creates a fantastic focal point, providing the perfect setting for everything from everyday family meals to entertaining friends.

The separate lounge offers a completely different atmosphere, creating a cosy space in which to relax, complete with a contemporary media wall that adds a stylish focal point to the room.

A separate conservatory provides yet another reception space, overlooking the rear garden and offering plenty of flexibility as an additional sitting room, playroom or entertaining area.

Completing the ground floor is a useful downstairs WC, adding another practical feature to this well-designed family home.

Moving upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from its own private en-suite shower room.

The remaining bedrooms are served by a separate family bathroom, making the first-floor accommodation particularly well suited to family life.

Outside, the property continues to impress.

To the front is a large private driveway, providing generous off-road parking, while to the rear is a beautifully landscaped garden, creating a fantastic outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying time with family.

The rear garden backs onto the grounds of St Bede's School, providing an established backdrop to the property.

One of the standout features is undoubtedly the converted garage, which now provides an incredibly versatile additional space separate from the main house. Whether used as a summer house, home office, games room, hobby space or potential annexe-style accommodation, subject to any necessary permissions and requirements, it offers possibilities that many traditional three-bedroom detached homes simply cannot provide.

What makes Old Gates Drive particularly appealing is the overall combination of accommodation on offer. The open-plan kitchen provides the sociable heart of the home, the separate lounge and conservatory offer flexibility, and the converted garage adds a completely different dimension to the property.
