About
Occupying a delightful position within a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Blackwell, one of Darlington's most prestigious West End locations, this traditional bay-fronted semi-detached home presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a property with tremendous potential.
Standing on a generous plot with a lovely west-facing rear garden, the property offers buyers the chance to modernise and create a superb family home in a highly sought-after setting.
The accommodation is well proportioned throughout and briefly comprises an entrance porch leading into a welcoming reception hallway, an attractive bay-fronted lounge with feature fireplace, a separate dining room, also enjoying a fireplace, together with a conservatory overlooking the rear garden.
There is also a kitchen fitted with floor and wall units. The ground floor has been extended to provide utility room and a convenient shower room.
To the first floor are three bedrooms, including two generous doubles and a good-sized single bedroom, complemented by a shower room and separate WC.
Externally, the property enjoys lawned gardens to both the front and rear, with the west-facing rear garden providing an ideal space to enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine.
A detached garage and a substantial driveway offer ample off-street parking.
Properties in this established cul-de-sac rarely come to the market, particularly those offering such outstanding scope for improvement in one of Darlington's finest residential areas.
