Summary - 42, DANBY CLOSE NE38 9JB
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Extended four-bed with double garage and generous living throughout.
Large mature, well-screened gardens and patio access
Set on a large, well-screened plot in a highly regarded pocket of Rickleton, this extended detached house has been substantially upgraded to create a confident family home. The layout delivers generous living throughout: three reception rooms, a generous kitchen/breakfast room, and a large double garage with utility area and remote doors make day-to-day life straightforward. Mature gardens and direct patio access from living rooms extend the usable space in warmer months.
The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms including an 18ft principal suite with refitted en suite, plus a stylish family bathroom finished to a high specification. Practical upgrades include replacement uPVC double glazing, a Worcester boiler with Hive control and pressurised heating, and recent building-control-registered works for windows and doors. Rickleton Primary School is within easy walking distance and the A1(M) interchange is less than a mile away, giving quick regional access.
Buyers should note a few material points: broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, the property falls within a coal mining reporting area (further searches recommended), and surface-water flood risk is described as high despite very low river/sea risk. Council Tax is Band E (above average). These are factual considerations for ongoing running costs and due diligence but do not detract from the house’s scale, specification and plot.
Overall, this is a contemporary, spacious family home in an established suburb — ideal for purchasers who value generous internal space, substantial outdoor privacy and straightforward road links to regional centres.
