Stopes Brow, Lower Darwen

A beautifully presented three-bedroom mid-terraced home on Stopes Brow, having undergone an extensive renovation over recent years to create a property that combines modern-day finishes with the character and proportions of a traditional home.

From the moment you step inside, the sense of space is immediately apparent. Tall ceilings, generous room proportions and retained original features give the property a character that is increasingly difficult to find, while the renovation means the house is ready for its next owners to simply move in and enjoy.

The ground floor offers two large separate reception rooms, providing plenty of flexibility for family life. Whether arranged as a formal lounge and dining room or as two completely separate living spaces, both rooms benefit from the scale and ceiling heights associated with a property of this period.

To the rear is a separate fitted kitchen, providing a dedicated cooking space away from the main reception rooms and completing a really practical ground-floor layout.

Upstairs, the generous proportions continue with three bedrooms, making this a genuine family home rather than simply a traditional two-bedroom terrace with limited additional space.

The bedrooms are served by a separate family bathroom, all finished in keeping with the excellent standard found throughout the rest of the property.

Outside, the house benefits from a sheltered rear yard, creating a private and practical space for sitting outside and entertaining.

There are also useful external outbuildings, with one currently utilised as a dedicated utility room, helping keep washing and additional household appliances completely separate from the main kitchen.

What makes Stopes Brow particularly appealing is the balance it offers. The renovation has brought the house up to a fantastic modern standard, yet the original character, high ceilings and traditional proportions have not been lost in the process.

With two substantial reception rooms, three bedrooms, a separate kitchen and bathroom, sheltered outside space and useful outbuildings, this is a superb first-time purchase or family home offering an impressive amount of space and character.

A composite entrance door opens into a traditional entrance porch, immediately introducing some of the original character that has been retained throughout this beautifully renovated three-bedroom home.

Entrance Porch
The entrance porch is finished with tiled flooring and features original coving and Lincrusta-style wall detailing, complemented by a panelled feature wall.

From here, access continues through into the main entrance hallway.

Entrance Hallway
The hallway immediately demonstrates the proportions and period character of the property, with the tall ceilings and original architectural detailing giving a real sense of space.

Laminate flooring runs through the hallway, complemented by an original decorative archway, original coving and a central heating radiator.

From here there is access to both reception rooms, with the staircase rising to the first-floor accommodation.

Reception Room One
The first reception room is a generously proportioned living space with a UPVC double-glazed window bringing in plenty of natural light.

At the heart of the room is a feature gas fire set upon a marble hearth with a traditional wooden mantelpiece, creating an attractive focal point and retaining the character you would hope to find within a property of this period.

Original coving continues around the ceiling, complemented by a central heating radiator and wall-mounted TV point.

Reception Room Two
The second reception room provides another excellent-sized living space and gives the ground floor plenty of flexibility for family life.

There is a UPVC double-glazed window, central heating radiator and laminate flooring.

A useful understairs storage cupboard provides additional storage, while access continues directly through into the separate kitchen.

Kitchen
Positioned to the rear of the property is the fitted kitchen.

There is a contemporary range of grey wall and base units, complemented by laminate worktops and tiled splashbacks.

A black composite sink and drainer with mixer tap is incorporated within the work surface, while cooking facilities include a four-ring electric hob with extractor above and electric oven.

Dedicated spaces are provided for a washing machine and fridge/freezer.

The wall-mounted combi boiler is neatly concealed within the kitchen cabinetry.

Further features include tiled flooring, spotlights, a central heating radiator and UPVC double-glazed window.

A UPVC double-glazed external door provides direct access into the rear yard.

First Floor
Landing
The staircase rises to a central first-floor landing providing access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Principal Bedroom
Positioned to the front of the house, the principal bedroom is a particularly generous double room, continuing the excellent proportions found throughout the property.

There is a UPVC double-glazed window and central heating radiator, alongside useful built-in storage cupboards.

Bedroom Two
The second bedroom is another well-proportioned room with a UPVC double-glazed window and central heating radiator.

Built-in storage cupboards provide valuable additional space.

Bedroom Three
The third bedroom completes the sleeping accommodation and benefits from a UPVC double-glazed window and central heating radiator.

Its flexibility makes it ideal as a child's bedroom, guest room or dedicated home office.

Family Bathroom
The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a bath with overhead shower, WC and wash basin.

The room features a combination of wall tiling and decorative panelling, alongside flooring, a central heating radiator, spotlights and extractor fan.

Stopes Brow is a fantastic example of a traditional terraced home that has been modernised without stripping away the features that give it its personality.

From the original coving, decorative archway and Lincrusta-style detailing to the high ceilings and traditional fireplace, there is character throughout, while the modern kitchen, bathroom and overall finish make the property ready for its next owners to enjoy.

With two substantial reception rooms, three bedrooms and a separate fitted kitchen, it offers an impressive amount of accommodation and would make an excellent first-time purchase or family home.
