Four-bedroom family home backing onto Botanical Gardens, a short walk to Ecclesall Road.
Victorian semi-detached with high ceilings and original period features
Light-filled and full of period detail, this Victorian semi delivers generous family living across three floors. The ground floor's bay-windowed lounge and separate dining room flow to a breakfast kitchen centred on a two-oven Aga, with double doors out to a large decked terrace — ideal for family meals and entertaining. A practical cellar and pantry add useful storage and utility space.
Sleeping accommodation includes two well-proportioned double bedrooms on the first floor, a small fourth bedroom/home office and a sizable second‑floor double with an adjacent contemporary wet room and separate study — the top floor works well as a guest or whole-floor suite. The enclosed, landscaped rear garden features mature specimen planting, a water feature and tiered decking, and the driveway provides off-street parking for two cars.
Located a minute's walk from Ecclesall Road and backing directly onto the Botanical Gardens, the house sits in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband — convenient for schools, hospitals and university campuses. The property retains much Victorian character (high ceilings, sash/bay windows and fireplaces) while having double glazing installed after 2002 and modern heating via a mains gas boiler.
Important practical points: council tax is above average (Band E) and the property’s cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so buyers should factor potential energy-improvement costs into their plans. As a pre-1900 building, ongoing maintenance and period-sensitive repairs may be required despite the good overall condition.
