Large west-facing private garden with mature trees
Four double bedrooms including ground-floor bedroom
Three reception rooms plus sun room and snug

EPC rating D — potential to improve energy efficiency
Council Tax Band F — higher ongoing costs
ADSL broadband and average mobile signal; check working-from-home needs
Mining search advised due to regional mining heritage
Set on a large, well-established plot at the edge of Darras Hall, this detached four-bedroom house offers flexible family living across nearly 1,900 sq ft. The layout includes three principal reception rooms, a snug opening to a sun room and a kitchen/diner with utility — all arranged to make everyday life and entertaining straightforward. A ground-floor double bedroom and bathroom add practical flexibility for multi-generational living or a home office.
The west-facing garden is a standout feature: private, mature and large enough for children’s play, summer dining and future landscaping projects. Internally the property is neutrally presented and broadly well maintained, with built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms and an en-suite to the principal bedroom. Off-street parking and an attached single garage provide useful storage and vehicle space.
Notable practical points are presented plainly: the EPC is rated D and the property sits in Council Tax band F, so running costs may be higher than newer stock. Broadband is ADSL and mobile signal is average; buyers who work heavily from home should check speeds. Because of the region’s mining history, a formal mining search is recommended and should be confirmed by your conveyancer.
This home will suit a growing family seeking generous internal space and a large private garden in a very affluent, well-served suburb. There is scope for updating or energy-efficiency improvements to personalise the house and reduce longer-term utility costs — a chance to add value for the next owner.
