Step through the front door into the welcoming hallway of Fife Road and you immediately sense the care and character that define this elegant West End home. Warm wood flooring underfoot, a generous understairs cupboard to the side and a bright front window set the tone for what lies beyond - a house that has evolved gracefully over time, offering stylish, functional living across three thoughtfully arranged floors.
To the right, the front lounge is a peaceful retreat. A deep bay window draws in the morning sun, while the original fireplace and double-sided wood-burning stove anchor the space with quiet dignity. This same fireplace continues into the heart of the home - an open-plan kitchen and dining area that’s every bit as practical as it is beautiful. Solid wood flooring flows throughout, complementing bespoke cabinetry, timber worktops and a feature range cooker. There’s space here to cook, dine and gather, with light pouring in through bi-fold doors that open onto the garden. It’s a room that naturally becomes the social hub of the house; its equally suited to laid-back breakfasts or lively evenings with friends.
Tucked behind the kitchen is a cloakroom, conveniently located and cleverly finished with wall cupboards, a tiled splashback, and a mixer tap basin.
Climb the stairs and you’ll find three first-floor bedrooms. The principal bedroom to the side is particularly charming, with a feature fireplace and built-in storage. Two further rooms at the front offer plenty of space for children, guests, or even a study, each one light, calm and well-proportioned. The main family bathroom is smartly fitted with both a bath and a separate shower, a heated towel rail, and a vanity basin, all set beneath an opaque window that offers privacy without compromising on light.
A second staircase leads to the top floor, where a fourth double bedroom stretches across the width of the house. With a pitched ceiling, dual rooflights, a side window, eaves storage and a TV point, it’s a wonderful, flexible space, ideal as a teenager’s room, a private guest suite, or even a quiet workspace for those working from home. There’s a separate shower room here too, well-appointed with laminate flooring, panelling and yet more storage built into the eaves.
Outside, the rear garden faces west, meaning you’ll enjoy the afternoon and evening sun from the lawn, the patio, or the decked seating area, perfect for summer barbecues or a quiet drink at the end of the day. The garden is fully enclosed, making it both secure and low-maintenance. There’s outside lighting, an external tap, and rear access to the garage, which comes with power, light, and enough space for storage or a vehicle. To the front, artificial turf and mature planting offer a smart and manageable approach to this handsome end-of-terrace home.
Located within one of Darlington’s most sought-after postcodes, this property lies within a short stroll of the town’s best schools, independent shops, and leafy parks. With its blend of character, space, and lifestyle appeal, Fife Road offers a rare opportunity to put down roots in the very heart of the West End.
