About
Welcome to this three-bedroom detached home, offering generous and versatile accommodation with fantastic potential for renovation.
Located in the popular Pleckgate area of Blackburn, this detached property requires a programme of renovation and modernisation throughout and presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a home to their own taste.
The ground floor offers an impressive amount of living space, centred around a large open-plan lounge and dining area.
Generous windows provide plenty of natural light, while the spacious proportions offer excellent scope to create a contemporary family living and entertaining space.
From here, the accommodation flows through to a sun room overlooking the rear garden, providing an additional versatile reception space with direct access outside.
Also positioned on the ground floor is one of the three bedrooms, making this an extremely flexible home.
Depending on individual requirements, the room could alternatively be utilised as a home office, guest room or additional reception room.
Completing the ground-floor accommodation is the kitchen, which provides a good amount of workspace and storage with views towards the garden, together with the added convenience of a downstairs WC.
To the first floor are two further bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The accommodation throughout requires updating but offers generous proportions and an excellent foundation from which to create a comfortable and individual home.
Outside, the property continues to offer excellent potential. A generous driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached garage.
Established gardens sit to both the front and rear, with mature trees, shrubs and planting creating an attractive outdoor space with plenty of scope for further landscaping.
Prospective purchasers should be aware that the property requires renovation and modernisation throughout and that the heating system is currently not functioning.
The property is therefore ideally suited to purchasers looking for a project and the opportunity to refurbish a detached home to their own specification.
