Here's what our clients had to say when we were discussing their home "This has been a wonderful family home for us. We’ve loved starting the day with sunrise views from the kitchen and enjoying the outlook of greenery through the large windows. Old Hay Close is such a peaceful cul-de-sac, great for us as we have young children, also helps having excellent schools nearby and the countryside right on the doorstep.
Dore has a real sense of community, especially during the summer with events like the Gala and Well Dressing. We’ve had some fantastic meals at The Dore Bar and Grill, and the village chippie and greengrocers have been firm favourites. One of the things we’ll miss most is being able to walk from the house along scenic footpaths to The Cricket Inn in Totley Bents, a perfect Sunday outing."
You enter the property through a porch into a welcoming hallway, where you’ll find a downstairs WC and stairs rising to the first floor. Off to the right is the spacious living room and dining room, while straight ahead leads to the kitchen.
The living room is a generous space with plenty of room for seating, a large front-facing window that fills the room with natural light, and a chimney breast offering a potential focal point. Double French doors at the rear open into the dining room, which comfortably accommodates a large dining table. There’s also a window and a door into the kitchen, along with sliding doors that open out to the rear garden, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining.
The kitchen itself is a great size with plenty of worktop space and storage. Appliances include an electric oven, oven/grill, and an induction hob. A handy pantry under the stairs provides additional storage, while a door leads into the utility room with access to the garage and a further external door out to the garden.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate WC. The main bedroom is a spacious front-facing double with built-in wardrobes. Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double overlooking the rear garden, also benefiting from built-in wardrobes. Bedroom three is a single bedroom, ideal as a nursery or a home office. The shower room is fitted with a large shower cubicle, vanity unit with washbasin, and a heated towel rail. The WC is located next door for convenience.
Outside, the front of the property offers off-street parking and access to the garage via a manual up-and-over door, along with a small lawn and established flowerbeds.
The south-east facing rear garden is a lovely outdoor space, there’s a patio just off the house, a couple of steps down to a lawn with flowerbeds either side, and a low-maintenance children’s play area at the end. A rear gate offers a useful shortcut to the nearby bus stop and King Ecgbert Secondary School.
