Our client grew up in Lodge Moor, so when she was looking for a family home for her children, she was keen to stay close by. It’s a brilliant area for families, when the kids were young it was great having Spider Park, Forge Dam, Wyming Brook and Redmires Reservoirs all on your doorstep. Hallamshire Drive was a road she was incredibly keen on as it’s a quiet cul-de-sac and safe for children to play, there’s also access to Gilcrest Wood & Meadow at the end of the road.
The house itself was perfect for them, the open plan kitchen/living/dining room was where they spend most of the time but the living room with the wood burner is cosy in the winter. The garden is South-East facing and the lawn gets sun nearly all day and the patio to the side of the house is the perfect, secluded spot for an evening glass of wine. They installed a wildlife pond that the kids have had great fun spotting newts and frogs.
The front door opens into a handy lobby, which then leads into a welcoming hallway. To the right, you’ll find a downstairs WC, a versatile home office (which could also work as a playroom or occasional bedroom), and the stairs to the first floor. On the left is the spacious living room, with a large front-facing window and a charming fireplace featuring a wood-burning stove, stone hearth, and bespoke fitted shelving and storage.
At the end of the hallway is the fantastic open-plan kitchen/living/dining space, the real heart of the home. Although open-plan, it still offers clearly defined spaces for relaxing, cooking and dining. The living area has plenty of room for seating and shares the warmth of the double-sided wood burner with the living room. The kitchen has loads of worktop space, storage, and a breakfast bar. Appliances include an under-counter fridge and freezer, gas hob with extractor, electric oven, grill, and space for a freestanding dishwasher. Off the kitchen is a separate utility room with extra storage and plumbing for a washing machine. The dining space, formerly a conservatory, now benefits from a solid roof, making it usable and comfortable all year round.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, an en-suite, and a family bathroom. The main bedroom is a double with built-in wardrobes and drawers, plus a beautifully updated en-suite with a walk-in shower, WC and vanity unit. Bedrooms two and three are both generously sized doubles, while bedroom four is a good-sized single. The family bathroom includes a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, bidet and wash basin.
Outside, there’s a small front garden with flowerbeds, driveway parking for multiple cars, and access to the garage via an up-and-over door or side door. The south-east facing rear garden is a lovely space, a patio just outside the back door catches the sun from late morning through to the evening, making it ideal for summer BBQs. A few steps lead up to a lawn and tucked away at the side is another secluded patio with a wildlife pond, perfect for catching the last of the evening sun.
