We are delighted to offer to the market this substantial four bedroom family home with additional one bedroom annexe in the very popular village of Blackburn. The property would benefit from some upgrading internally but has been very well cared for by the current owners who have resided here since it was designed and built by them in 1976. This is a solid, standard brick built property that is well insulated including underfloor. It offers any potential buyer an excellent opportunity to create a substantial family home with a possible additional income from the annexe. It also benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, open fire, large single garage and additional garage/workshop. The delightful gardens to the rear provide a private and very peaceful haven just a few minutes from the city. We highly recommend viewing of this property to fully appreciate the exceptional lifestyle that it has to offer.
