Property for sale in Turncroft Road, Darwen BB3

Extremely private and surrounded by an abundance of greenery, this unique semi-detached four-bedroom property is situated in the established and desirable suburb of Turncroft, Darwen, and boasts a huge plot with an equally generous amount of accommodation. The property is tucked away at the end of a private lane amidst mature woodland – it’s so secluded that if nobody told you about it, you’d never know it exists! The interiors are finished to a contemporary standard throughout and include a central, double height hallway with gallery landing, lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility, cloak/WC, office/study, four bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en-suites. Externally there’s a great amount of space, including a detached garden building suitable for a variety of uses.

The Living Space

The property sits in a slightly elevated position, and because of this, from the lounge there’s a pleasant aspect with bifold doors overlooking and opening onto the front terrace, allowing you to benefit from that lovely indoor-outdoor lifestyle on warm summer days. Within the lounge itself is a feature fireplace constructed of exposed stone that gives a rustic, natural feel, which is a theme throughout, complementing the solid wood floor and the natural wood tones of the doors, skirtings and architraves, plus the beautiful oak staircase in the hallway. And set within the fireplace is a log burner that further adds a lovely cosy feel.

The kitchen has beautiful wood and glass double doors from the impressive hallway, but there’s also an open walkway from the lounge, affording a semi open plan flow while still retaining it’s use as a separate room. It’s fair to say the kitchen is a great size, perfect for family life and when entertaining family and friends and is a sleek modern finish with black granite worktops and gloss contrast cabinetry. The central island provides bar seating for four people, while also housing the gas-on-glass five-plate cda hob with extractor above. Other integrated appliances include a double oven/grill, microwave, dishwasher, and an inset sink with drainer and mixer tap.

Situated adjacent to the kitchen and lounge at the front of the property is the dining room which is in keeping with the interiors of the lounge. Off the kitchen is also access to the utility with plumbing for the washer and dryer, as well as access to a rear porch – handy for extra storage or keeping wet paws and muddy boots.

On the opposite side of the hallway are three more rooms which offer further practicality to meet the demands of modern family life. The office/study gives a quiet spot to work from home, and the other room is versatile in its use, being either the fourth bedroom or a snug or kids room. If using this second room as a bedroom, the WC is directly opposite and owing to its large size could easily become a shower room for the bedroom.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

Upstairs the impressive gallery landing leads to three substantial double bedrooms, all found in great condition and finished to similar contemporary standards as the living spaces, with natural wood tones and neutral décor. Two of the bedrooms benefit from spacious en-suites that feature modern tiling to the floor and walls, and three-piece shower suites with spacious walk-in showers. The main family bathroom is in the centre of the landing, featuring a large jacuzzi bath, wash basin and WC.
