Whitehall Road, Darwen, BB3 2LH

A most impressive Victorian detached house, dating from 1879, enjoying an idyllic location facing Whitehall Park and private woodland to the rear.

Set in large mature gardens and with a sweeping driveway to the front and side. The property enjoys an imposing position within this sought after locality.

The property provides traditional and flexible living accommodation with original features providing charm and character whilst enjoying contemporary modern amenity.

It represents an ideal family home but with the versatility to accommodate business and work from home opportunities.

It has been extended and provides approximately 3000 square feet of accommodation in a conventional layout.

There are three generous sized reception rooms, a superb open plan living kitchen which includes dining and sitting areas, a separate utility room, boiler room and large cloakroom.

There are five bedrooms (one currently used as office). The master suite includes a large double bedroom, walk-through dressing room and a superb four piece en-suite shower room.

A second large double bedroom with en-suite, then three further double bedrooms and a separate family bathroom.

The property boasts attractive features including original tiled entrance hall, an eye catching and restored lounge, arched leaded window casting light onto the hallway and first floor landing which enjoys a spindled balustrade staircase.

There are two wood burners, gas fired central heating (with two boilers and Megaflow system), double-glazing throughout including 7m bi-folding doors from the kitchen to the rear garden which open to provide excellent entertaining space onto the rear patio.

There are private, mature gardens with adjoining lawned, cobbled and patio areas. There are two garden sheds and an air-raid shelter.

There is a garage (currently used as a home gym) with electric up and over roller door. There is a tarmacked driveway with feature lighting and can accommodate many vehicles (at least 10 if required).

Whitehall Road is a cul-de-sac with access into the park and the Darwen moors, providing excellent walks and bike trails.

Although this is a quiet and private area, there are local primary schools (Ashleigh and St Barnabas) with in a short walk and the A666 (main road) is at the bottom of the road giving access to Darwen, Bolton and all the surrounding towns and motorway network.

In our opinion this is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of this type with the area and we would strongly recommend internal inspection to fully appreciate.
