Summary - 145, FORRES ROAD, SHEFFIELD S10 1WF
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Charming three-bed with driveway, great schools and park views.
South-facing rear garden backing onto Lydgate Park
Set on a quiet Crookes road, this three-bedroom semi offers a rare south-facing garden that backs onto Lydgate Park. The plot includes off-street parking and a neat front lawn — practical assets for families and commuters. With a long lease (708 years) and nominal ground rent, ownership costs are straightforward.
Internally the house retains 1930s character — bay windows, a chimneybreast and traditional room proportions — but its décor and some fittings reflect mid-20th-century style and will suit buyers happy to modernise. The layout includes two good doubles, a smaller third bedroom useful as a nursery or home office, and a single family bathroom. Overall footprint is small (about 729 sqft), so storage and living space feel compact compared with larger modern family homes.
Important practical points: the property shows some roof wear and there are indications of possible damp in parts, so buyers should expect light-to-medium maintenance and improvement works rather than a turnkey finish. Double glazing is fitted (install date unknown) and heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. Council tax band C and excellent local transport, fast broadband and strong mobile signal support modern family life.
Location is a key strength — short walks to Crookes high street, parks, good primary and outstanding secondary schools, Sheffield University and central hospitals. That proximity, combined with the green outlook and sunny garden, makes this a sensible choice for young families, professionals and first-time buyers who value community and convenience and are prepared to invest in some updating.
