About this home

The Austen is an exceptional five-bedroom family home extending to 2,487 sq ft, thoughtfully designed across two spacious floors and finished to an outstanding specification throughout.

Nestled in the idyllic grounds of Blackwell Grange, Havelock Park is located on the outskirts of Darlington. A haven of peace and tranquillity, picturesque Blackwell has long been a desirable place to live.

A welcoming entrance hallway leads to a versatile study or games room, a spacious lounge and an impressive open plan kitchen, dining and family area that forms the heart of the home. Featuring a beautifully crafted Ellis shaker-style kitchen, this space includes Silestone worktops, a Quooker tap, wine fridge and a full range of integrated Bosch appliances, including a fridge freezer, dishwasher, induction hob and cooker hood. Expansive bi-folding doors open onto the garden, creating a bright and sociable living space ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining.

Practicality is equally well considered, with a generous pantry, downstairs cloakroom, boot room and a separate utility room fitted with an integrated Bosch washer and dryer. The home also benefits from a double garage with electric garage doors, an EV charging point, solar panels and a highly efficient Panasonic air source heat pump, creating a modern and sustainable fully electric home.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The luxurious principal suite features a walk-in dressing area and a beautifully appointed en-suite complete with a freestanding push-button bath and walk-in shower. Bedroom two also enjoys its own private en-suite, while three further bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom. All bathrooms and en-suites are finished with elegant Porcelanosa tiling, premium Hansgrohe and Ideal Standard Atelier sanitaryware, heated towel rails and vanity units to en-suites, creating a luxurious yet practical finish throughout.

A large storage cupboard enhances the excellent practicality of the first floor, while thoughtful finishing touches including spotlights, chrome switches to the ground floor and landing, USB double sockets and double-glazed windows add to the home's quality appeal.

Externally, The Austen benefits from paving around the property, a brindle block-paved driveway, 6ft fencing to the rear garden and a professionally landscaped front garden with planting and turf included. This house type also benefits from a separate double garage plus further parking. With its exceptional layout, generous living spaces and luxury specification, The Austen is perfectly suited to modern family living from the moment you move in.
