Description
An immaculately presented three-bedroom semi-detached family home, offered to the market with no onward chain. Boasting a stylish interior, well-proportioned living spaces, and beautifully maintained gardens to both the front and rear, this property is perfect for growing families or buyers looking to upsize.
Tucked away within a highly sought-after residential development in Cherry Tree, the home enjoys convenient access to a wide range of local amenities and popular eateries. It’s ideally positioned for families, with well-regarded schools nearby, and offers excellent transport connections via major commuter routes and regular bus services to Blackburn, Darwen, and Preston.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall that leads into a spacious living room, tastefully decorated in neutral tones with laminate flooring and an electric feature fireplace. The living room flows seamlessly into the open-plan kitchen/diner, which has been finished to a contemporary standard with grey high-gloss units, plinth lighting, spotlights, and matching laminate flooring — creating an ideal space for both family dining and entertaining.
The first floor hosts three bedrooms, including two generous doubles — both beautifully presented with neutral décor and laminate flooring — and a third single bedroom following the same modern theme. The accommodation is completed by a spacious family bathroom, featuring a modern three-piece suite with a shower over the bath and a fitted vanity unit.
Externally, the property offers a neatly landscaped front garden and a large driveway providing ample off-road parking, along with a detached garage to the side. To the rear, a private South facing garden awaits, complete with a raised decking area and pergola, perfect for outdoor seating and relaxation, complemented by an easy-to-maintain lawn.
