Loft

The loft is accessed from the hallway using a retractable ladder. The central portions of the T-shaped loft are boarded to offer extensive storage space. The outer portions and under the boarding are comprehensively insulated to minimise heat loss and enhance comfort in the rooms below.

Outside

The splendid gardens to the front and rear are a real highlight of the property, with paths giving gated access to both sides of the house. The block paved driveway gives parking for two vehicles as well as access to the garage. The front garden lawn is framed by a magnificent circular path which leads to the curving steps to the front door. The rear garden features a large patio area - perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. The large lawn is framed by mature shrubs and trees, including a splendid black elder and the best eating apples you’ll have ever tasted! There is a small pond which hosts an array of wildlife – this is currently protected by heavy-duty netting and fencing for the safety of the resident young children, but this could be readily removed if preferred by the purchaser. There is a large potting shed (2.4 x 1.8m / 8x6’), further storage shed (2.4 x 1.2m / 8x4’) and a greenhouse (2.4 x 1.8m / 8x6’).

Owner’s Comments:

How long have you owned the property?

We have been here for ten years and have been very happy in the house and in Greasbrough. We have decorated and refurbished extensively and made the house our own. If we didn’t need to relocate, we would happily stay, and indeed if we could pick the house up and take it with us, we would!

What attracted you to this house and location?

We wanted a quieter and more spacious environment to raise a family, so we moved out of the bustle of Sheffield’s city to tranquillity of Munsbrough Lane, and we appreciated how quick and easy our commutes became and the accessibility to the motorway and rail networks. The house offered all the space and flexibility we wanted and the opportunity to develop our gardening skills and enjoy the outside space, but the huge garage is what really sold it to the car-enthusiast of our family.

What is the history of the house?

The house, and many of those on Munsbrough Lane, were self-build plots built in 1978. It is therefore unique, and was ahead of its time in that a condition of planning was that the builder had to build for themselves rather than profit. It was sold in the 80s to the family we bought from in 2014, so we are only the third owners.

What is your favourite room?

The master bedroom with its huge wardrobe is brilliant, and the refurbishment of the en-suite bathroom has made this a sumptuous retreat. An upside-down house with the master downstairs is a little unusual, but we soon got used to going downstairs to bed, and it is pleasingly cool in the summer.

What aspect of the property are you most proud of?

We are thrilled with how well our kitchen design has worked as it’s stylish, functional and a pleasure to use. Our friends and visitors have been full of compliments and it is the hub of our home.

What are the features of the local area?

Greasbrough is a quiet commuter village with excellent schools, library, doctors surgery, pharmacy, pubs and range of shops. More extensive shopping options are short distances away in Parkgate, Meadowhall, Rotherham and Sheffield. The M1 motorway is a short drive away, and mainline rail is close by from Rotherham Central or Meadowhall. There are varied walks in the nearby Fenton Woods and the Wentworth Woodhouse estate.

What will you miss the most?

The sense of tranquillity amongst the friendly community, birds singing in the garden and hedgerows, horse-riders waving as they pass the house. It’s been a superb house for us and in a great location, we will miss it dearly and hope the new owners will love it as we have.
