About
An absolutely stunning example of a Victorian townhouse, occupying a particularly pleasant position on a small cul-de-sac in the heart of Darlington's highly regarded West End within comfortable walking distance of the town centre, yet this lovely house enjoys a surprisingly peaceful setting.
Vane Terrace is a historically important road forming part of the town developed by the Vane family who have a strong association with the area and most notably Raby Castle which has been the family seat since 1626 The property has been updated and much improved by the present owners, creating a fabulous combination of retained Victorian character and the comfort and practicality expected of modern family living.
Period features remain an important part of its appeal, while the accommodation has been carefully arranged and presented to provide a genuinely impressive home.
An entrance porch opens to the welcoming hallway, leading to a lovely large lounge with bay window and attractive fireplace with an open fire.
There is a separate dining room, while to the rear is a particularly impressive 29ft kitchen/breakfast room.
This superb room has been refitted with a most attractive range of floor and wall units with integrated appliances. A rear lobby and separate W.C. Complete the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor are four bedrooms, comprising three good-sized double bedrooms and a single bedroom which is currently used as a dressing room. There is also a shower room and separate W.C.
To the second floor, there are two further double bedrooms together with a bathroom and separate W.C.
The versatility of having six bedrooms across the two upper floors makes this a particularly interesting house for a family or those requiring additional rooms for working from home, hobbies or guests.
Outside, there is a wood-decked patio area to the rear, and a pleasant forecourt garden to the front. The house is available furnished (subject to negotiation) with no onward chain.
