Westbrook, Darlington, DL3

Tucked away in the ever desirable DL3 area of Darlington is an outstanding family home of generous proportions.

Brimming with character, this home is any period property lover's dream. You will notice the lavish ceiling roses and decorative cornices that adorn the tall ceilings and appreciate the care that has gone into preserving the original floorboards as well as the detail in the floor tiles.

As you step in from the cold outdoors you will be drawn into the grand living room to be warmed by the roaring fire.

Next, you will find the formal dining room where you might play host to vibrant dinner parties. You may choose another use for this room all-together as the current owners know this versatile space as their music room.

The kitchen comprises of solid wood work surfaces and exposed brick walls with an Aga that has been well-maintained and looked after by the current owners, keeping to the tradition of the property. Large enough to comfortably fit a dining table in, you can't help but imagine preparing delicious meals while friends and family gather in anticipation.

Downstairs you will also find a useful utility room and bathroom with double shower cubicle, lending well to the running of any family household. From here, you can also access the garage with central heating and insulated doors, welcoming a multitude of uses.

The lower ground floor offers even more functional space with natural light from the double-glazed doors, solid wood floorboards, central heating and storage compartments. The current owners use this area as their home gym but it's for you to mould to your lifestyle.

Upstairs, you will find the family bathroom, four good-sized bedrooms and a loft room. Bedroom one features a decorative "Stovax" fireplace.

Typical of properties of this era, there is a low maintenance courtyard to the rear of the property. This home also benefits from a separate sizeable garden to the front of the property, made up of two areas connected by a bridge. Comprising of raised vegetable gardens, open lawn, mature trees, a stream and its own labyrinth; this is your own secret garden.

WE LOVE: The beautiful period features, tall ceilings, character and space the property offers as well as the peacefulness of the street.

THE OWNERS LOVE: The friendly neighbours and being part of a close-knit community. The current owners have fond memories of street parties organised by the active 'residents association' and enjoy the community spirit.
