To the rear, the property enjoys a private enclosed courtyard where the breathtaking outlook becomes the true highlight, overlooking the picturesque small reservoir, mature woodland and rolling countryside beyond. The property is also not overlooked to the front, creating an attractive sense of privacy.

Situated within walking distance of Bold Venture Park, Darwen town centre, excellent schools, supermarkets, cafés and the railway station, the location combines convenience with access to beautiful open green space and scenic countryside walks.

Offering character, generous proportions and exceptional views rarely found with traditional terraced homes, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a property that is ready to enjoy from day one.

Living Quarters With Views To Front & Rear - A welcoming entrance vestibule opens into the hallway, a bright and characterful lounge where high ceilings, decorative coving, original exposed timber flooring and a feature fireplace create an inviting first impression. To the rear, the spacious dining room provides an excellent second reception room, equally suited to formal dining or everyday family living, with a large rear-facing window framing the impressive elevated views beyond. Completing the ground floor is the fitted kitchen, offering a range of storage units, ample worktop space and direct access to the rear courtyard, whilst making the most of the stunning countryside outlook from the sink.

Beds & Baths - The first floor offers two generously proportioned bedrooms, both beautifully presented in neutral décor. The principal bedroom enjoys excellent natural light and ample space for a full range of bedroom furniture, whilst the second bedroom overlooks the rear and benefits from the spectacular open views stretching across the fishing lodge and surrounding countryside. The spacious family bathroom is fitted with a modern new white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, wash basin and WC, together with useful built-in storage cupboards.

A pull-down ladder from the landing provides access to a fully boarded loft room with a Velux roof window, creating a highly versatile additional space ideal for home working, hobbies or storage.

Outside & Views - To the front, the property enjoys an attractive stone façade with a small forecourt garden and, importantly, is not directly overlooked, creating a pleasant open aspect.

The enclosed rear courtyard provides a low-maintenance outdoor space perfect for relaxing or entertaining whilst enjoying one of the property's standout features—the magnificent elevated views across the neighbouring small reservoir, mature woodland and rolling countryside beyond. Rarely do traditional terraced homes enjoy such an impressive backdrop, offering a wonderful sense of peace and privacy.
