Set on a decent plot on Duddon Avenue, this three-bedroom detached house offers straightforward family living with practical extras. The ground floor flows from a naturally bright living room into a dining area and a fitted kitchen, while upstairs provides three well-proportioned bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom. A detached garage and driveway with off-street parking for multiple cars add useful storage and vehicle space.
Built in the late 1960s/early 1970s and with double glazing fitted after 2002, the property has solid bones and mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. The private rear garden provides a safe outdoor space for children or gardening, and fast broadband and average mobile signal support home working or streaming. Local green amenities include Sunnyhurst Woods and Darwen Golf Club, and the M65 links are within easy reach for commuting.
There are, however, practical issues to note. The area records higher crime levels and is classified as very deprived; this will be a consideration for buyers prioritising neighbourhood profile. Some internal areas show dated decor and potential minor damp in the living room archway area, so cosmetic updating and targeted remedial work may be required. Local school ratings are mixed — several nearby primaries and secondaries are rated Good, while a couple are noted as Requires Improvement.
This home suits buyers seeking space, parking and a private garden with scope to modernise over time — particularly families or those relocating from smaller properties. It is offered freehold with affordable council tax, making it a practical purchase for owner-occupiers who want immediate useable space and the potential to add value through modest improvements.
