Overview
ABOUT 4 DOWNING STREET
Rarely does a property come up for sale on this little-known cul-de-sac of 5 substantial detached residences tucked away above Whitehall Road. This particular property offers a good amount of accommodation suitable for a growing or mature family. It has been occupied by the same owners since it was built in 1986 but it is now time for them to downsize. The accommodation offers a fair degree of flexibility in how you use it. It briefly comprises on the ground floor an entrance hall, integral double garage with access through to an inner hallway which leads to a w.c. and sizeable garden room/home office. On the upper floor you will find a central hallway giving access to lounge, breakfast kitchen, dining room, conservatory, 3 double bedrooms (1 with en suite shower room), and a house bathroom. It enjoys wonderful views, particularly to the rear where all the rear facing rooms look out over the garden, adjoining farmland, and far across the valley. It has gas fired central heating, double glazing and a fully maintained alarm system. Externally, it has ample parking to the front and side, access into the integral double garage, and sizeable gardens well stocked with plants and shrubs, lawns, and various patio areas providing places ideal for sitting out and eating al fresco. This is a great location for those who commute with good access to the train station in Slaithwaite, regular bus service, and the M62 motorway is only a short drive away. It is also within easy reach of good infant, junior and high schools, and an array of village shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants in both Linthwaite and Slaithwaite.
