Set on a sought-after, tree-lined road and backing directly onto Ecclesall Woods, this 1930s detached house offers a classic family layout with strong outdoor amenity. The property’s south-facing rear garden and generous lawn create an immediate sense of privacy and room for children to play or for potential landscaping projects. A single garage and block-paved driveway provide practical off-street parking.
Internally the house retains period character — bay window, stained-glass porch and panelled hall — and delivers comfortable living with an elegant lounge opening via French doors to the garden, a separate bay-fronted reception/dining room and a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances included. Three bedrooms upstairs include two good-sized doubles; the shower room and separate WC serve the household but may feel limited for modern family needs.
There is clear scope to extend or adapt (subject to consents) to create additional living space or a larger family bathroom — a key value driver given the plot and woodland outlook. Practical details: combination gas boiler, double glazing, EPC rating D, council tax band E and a long lease (approx. 261 years remaining) with a nominal ground rent of £7.50 per year.
Location is a major asset: highly regarded local primary and secondary schools are within walking distance, Millhouses Park is close by and the city centre and Peak District are accessible for weekend escapes. The combination of period charm, garden size and development potential will appeal to growing families wanting a comfortable home with scope to personalise.
