Description

An impressive extended 1930s bay-fronted detached home, combining the character and proportions of a traditional property with a number of modern additions. Offering three bedrooms, versatile living space, a private garden and a fantastic tandem garage, this is a home with plenty to offer.
Set back behind established hedgerow, the home enjoys a good degree of privacy from the road. Stepping inside, the entrance hallway provides access to a beautiful bay-fronted lounge, while the ground floor also benefits from a useful WC and shower room. There is dining room which provides a fantastic space for everyday family life and entertaining, opening directly into the recently fitted kitchen. Bi-fold doors lead from the dining area onto the garden, creating a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces during the warmer months. Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms alongside the family bathroom, which features a stylish freestanding bath.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden includes a decked seating area ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Double gates provide the option for additional off-road parking if required. A real added bonus is the detached tandem garage, offering excellent storage, workshop or parking space. The rear section is currently being utilised as an additional room, providing further flexibility for anyone looking for a home office, hobby room, gym or similar space.

With its classic 1930s bay-fronted appearance, extended accommodation, modern kitchen and versatile outside space, 46 Darwin Street is a home that really needs to be viewed to appreciate everything it has to offer.
