Our client bought this home with her husband an incredible 56 years ago, the layout of the house, the size of the garden and the proximity to both Hallam Primary School and the Peak District attracted them at first. Both were keen gardeners and thoroughly loved spending hours in the garden, it was re-landscaped in the 80’s. The garden’s size meant that there was plenty of room for the children and then grandchildren to play, there’s still room for a more manicured garden further down.
As a family, they all loved the outdoors, primarily walking and cycling, the home is in a perfect location for both with Redmires Reservoirs, Wyming Brook, Rivelin Valley, Stanage Edge and Mayfield Valley all close by.
The entrance to the property is initially into the porch then the hallway. To the left is a cloakroom and stairs to the first floor, to the right is the dining room, then the living room and finally the kitchen and utility room.
The spacious dining room has a bay window at the front and a stone fireplace with a gas fire within, the chimney breast is on the outside of the property. Next door is the extended living room, which is a large room with a similar fireplace and gas fire. Full-length windows and external French doors provide lovely views and access to the rear garden.
The kitchen currently is a U-shape with units above and below the worktop, there is additional storage space in the pantry under the stairs. In terms of appliances, there is an electric oven, grill, gas hob, extractor fan and integrated fridge and freezer. From the kitchen is access to the utility room, here there is space for a freestanding washing machine and dryer. There is a storage cupboard, downstairs WC and access to the rear garden and back of the garage.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, a shower room and a WC. Bedroom one is at the front of the property, this is a large double bedroom. Bedroom two is another good double with views of the rear garden. The shower room has a large shower cubicle with an electric shower, washbasin, towel radiator and built-in storage cupboard. The separate WC is next door. Bedroom three is a single bedroom.
Externally, at the front of the property, there is off-street parking for multiple cars, well-maintained flowerbeds, access to the garage and down the side of the house to the rear garden. The rear garden is an incredible size meaning it can tailored to any owner’s needs.
Currently, directly at the back of the house, there is a patio and then a large lawn with flowerbeds to the sides, perfect for kids and pets to burn off some energy. Further down it feels more like a gardener’s garden, there is a feature gravelled circle with a sundial in the centre with flowerbeds surrounding it. The garden goes even further back, at the end is a little private patio/seating area that captures the last of the evening sun.
