Wow..... This is a truly magnificent detached property set in beautiful grounds and close to the heart of Darwen centre. With a commanding position on Hawkshaw Ave this fabulous period detached property, built in 1884 offers substantial, extended accommodation over three floors with six bedrooms, four bathrooms and large cellars. This property is set in the most stunning grounds, with a huge lawned area to the front and mature established flower borders.

<p>The first floor has 3 large double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, a family bathroom and a separate shower room. The top floor houses 3 large double bedrooms and a further large bathroom. One of the top floor bedrooms and the bathroom were created by a loft conversion.</p>
<p>If all this is not enough space, the property benefits from large cellar rooms which offer great potential to convert into further living space.</p>
<p>The property is freehold, and heated with 3 gas boilers, one for each floor. There are solar panels on the back and front of the roof, which provide enough electricity for the house in summer and also put power into the grid.</p>
<p>The property has been very well maintained, with new roof and windows throughout and a recently rebuilt freestanding garage made of the original Victorian bricks. There is an electric vehicle charging point.</p>
, Located close to the heart of Darwen Centre with great local amenities, there are also a number of excellent Schools in the locality as well as great access to the M65 motorway.
