What The Owner Says
"When we bought this house, it was the combination of things that won us over, and honestly, it still does. It was completely ready to move into, with a high-quality kitchen and bathroom already done, so we didn't have to lift a finger before settling in.
It's been perfect for young kids. In winter, the gas fire makes the lounge really cosy, and come summer, the garden comes into its own; it's larger than average for the area, fully enclosed, and flat, which makes it brilliant for the kids to play in. There's also a wide alleyway down the side, which has been so useful for access, you don't appreciate how handy that is until you have it. We've had some great barbecues out there with friends and family over the years, and we'll definitely miss the views from the back garden.
Location-wise, it's hard to beat. We're just a short walk from both Broomhill and Crookes, so we've got brilliant shops, pubs and cafes on our doorstep whenever we fancy it.
And for us, with one of our children at Lydgate Infants, the school catchment has been a real highlight. It's been excellent, and that peace of mind made a real difference to us as a family."
Step through the side entrance and you're immediately presented with a choice: turn left into the lounge, or right into the heart of the home, the kitchen diner. The lounge is a wonderfully comfortable space, bathed in light from the bay window at the front. The chimney breast forms a natural focal point, with a gas fire set within it giving the warmth and character of a traditional woodburner, without any of the upkeep. There's plenty of room to arrange seating around it, making this an easy space to relax or entertain in.
Across the hall, the kitchen diner is a real showstopper. Generous worktop space runs across two walls, complemented by a peninsula that adds even more preparation and worktop space. Classic Shaker-style units are set off beautifully by the exposed brickwork on the chimney breast, a lovely blend of timeless style and character. There's an electric oven and grill, gas hob, and plumbing for a washing machine, while still leaving plenty of room for a dining table and chairs, perfect for everyday family meals. A door leads down to the cellar for handy extra storage, and a second door opens straight out to the rear garden, ideal for those summer evenings when you want to flow seamlessly between cooking and entertaining outside.
Upstairs on the first floor, you'll find two further bedrooms. Bedroom two is a large double at the front of the house, with the bonus of a useful storage cupboard tucked under the stairs. Bedroom three, currently set up as a nursery, is a versatile single room that would work equally well as a home office for those needing space to work from home. The family bathroom completes this floor with a modern finish, featuring a bath with shower above, WC, and wash basin.
Climb to the second floor and you'll discover the main bedroom, a fantastic double with a dormer window overlooking the rear and built-in storage to the front, a real retreat at the top of the house.
Outside, the property continues to impress.
To the front, a small forecourt and useful side space offer practical storage or parking potential. The real highlight, though, is the east-facing rear garden, accessed either through the kitchen or via the side of the property. A patio sits directly behind the house, with a path leading down to a second patio at the far end, perfectly positioned to make the most of the sun throughout the day. Either side of the path, neat lawns add a splash of greenery. Whether you're hosting a summer barbecue or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this garden is made for entertaining and relaxing in equal measure.
