This mid-terraced Victorian cottage on Darwen Road blends period character with practical family living. Restored original floors, decorative mouldings and a working fireplace give the home authentic charm, while a dining kitchen with log burner and fitted storage delivers everyday usability. A detached garage with an electric supply and a flagged rear courtyard add useful outdoor space and storage.
The layout comprises a lounge, dining kitchen, three bedrooms, a luxury three-piece bathroom and a separate W.C. The master and second bedrooms are good doubles; a third room suits a single bedroom or home office. There’s loft access with potential to convert subject to planning (neighbours have done so), offering scope to add value.
Important practical details: the property is leasehold (around 844 years remaining) with a nominal ground rent of £5. The house is stone-built (likely original sandstone/limestone) and there may be little or no wall insulation; double glazing was installed before 2002. These are normal for a pre-1900 home but could mean energy upgrades are advisable.
Location is a genuine strength — walking distance to Bromley Cross train station, good local shops, pubs and highly regarded primary and secondary schools nearby. Very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit commuters and families. Council tax is described as low. Overall this is a characterful, deceptively spacious family home with scope to personalise and improve energy performance.
