Set across four floors and extending to approximately 2,659 sq ft, this stone-built, double-fronted Victorian semi offers substantial family accommodation in the heart of Botanical Gardens. High ceilings, bay windows and original period detail give the house immediate character and an elevated outlook over the nearby parkland. The private, sunny rear garden and off-street driveway suit family life and outside entertaining.
The location is a primary draw: outstanding and highly regarded local schools, Endcliffe Park and the Botanical Gardens on the doorstep, with Sharrow Vale and Ecclesall Roads’ independent shops and cafes a short walk away. Principal hospitals and university campuses are also within walking distance, making the house convenient for professionals and families alike.
Buyers should note key practical points: the property is leasehold, currently rated EPC D and in a council tax band above average. Constructed around 1900–1929 with traditional sandstone walls, the building likely needs modernisation in areas (insulation and services) and there are only two bathrooms for six bedrooms — useful factors for families or buyers planning refurbishment.
Viewed honestly, the house suits a growing family seeking a universally desirable neighbourhood with large, flexible living space and strong long-term appeal. It will reward buyers prepared to update energy performance and internal fittings to their own taste.
