Blackburn house hits the market with £1.2 million price tag

The five bedroom house is “perfectly positioned in one of Blackburn's most prestigious roads”, the listing claims, and is located on a “large and enviable plot framed by an oasis of wonderfully manicured gardens”.

Brought to the market by Miller Metcalfe, the Victorian era home is located in Meins Road, not far from Westholme School for Girls, The Olive School, and Tauheedul Girls’ High School.

The property description reads: “Perfectly positioned in one of Blackburn's most prestigious roads sits the impeccable and utterly striking Brae Crest.

“Sat on a large and enviable plot framed by an oasis of wonderfully manicured gardens, homes of such class and poise are a complete rarity.

“This imposing Victorian detached residence offers an abundance of living space with an internal offering of over 3000 sq ft.

“An ideal set up for large families looking for the perfect family home with all the trimmings. If privacy and tranquillity are high on your list of priorities, then this is sure to fit the bill!

“The versatility of the accommodation on offer cannot be underestimated. Currently used as a five-bedroom property, there's genuine scope to use as six bedrooms or even three/four bedrooms with further reception rooms on offer.

“A particular plus point for those that work from home or need a space to work from, you are unlikely to find a home with as much internal space that can be changed and suited to your needs.

“Sitting on a huge plot of well over an acre, there's further potential to extend to all sides subject to the necessary planning and building permissions.

“Although incredibly private and secluded, the property is far from isolated. Excellent local schools are within walking distance as well as plenty of other nearby amenities.

“For those that need to commute, there's strong links to Preston, Clitheroe, Manchester and beyond via the local motorway network.”

It features two large living rooms, a dining room,  a kitchen/diner, home office, plus five good sized double bedrooms across both floors, with two boasting en-suites, one a dressing room, and a third with a walk-in wardrobe.

There is a large family bathroom with a standalone bath and separate shower, and outside plenty of driveway space and large gardens, which the listing says gives it “obvious curb appeal” and its “long and winding driveway offering an outlook similar to that of a movie”.

With a 10 per cent deposit, a typical 25 year mortgage would only cost a mere £6,808 a month, which could fluctuate due to interest rates, and is a Band G Council Tax property with annual payments of just £3,360.
