Rock Bank is a spacious, newly renovated detached home set on a very large semi‑rural plot, ideal for families who want countryside living with roomy, well‑finished accommodation. The ground floor delivers two principal reception rooms — a light lounge with aluminium bi‑fold doors and a large formal living room — plus a generous dining kitchen fitted with integrated Bosch appliances. The property feels contemporary inside while retaining solid, characterful proportions throughout its 2,709 sq ft layout.
Sleeping accommodation is flexible: a large master suite with adjoining dressing room/bedroom four and two further double bedrooms on the first floor, one with an en‑suite. Practical extras include underfloor heating to key ground‑floor spaces, ample built storage and a sizeable double garage with a games room above. With planning permission the outbuilding could be converted to an annexe, offering potential for multi‑generational living or ancillary income.
Externally the plot is a major selling point — multiple paved seating terraces, mature planting, parking for around six vehicles and attractive stone walling provide private outdoor space and countryside views. The house is well placed for local village amenities, highly regarded nearby schools and easy access to Dronfield, Sheffield and the Peak District for walks and leisure.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: broadband is very slow (ADSL), which will frustrate heavy home‑working or streaming; the property sits in Council Tax Band G so annual charges are relatively high; and any change of use for the outbuilding as a permanent annexe requires formal planning approval. These points should be considered alongside the house’s renovation quality and generous plot.
