Description - Situated in one of Rotherham’s most desirable and established neighbourhoods, just a short walk from Rotherham Hospital, this substantial five-bedroom period semi-detached home presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a property of real stature and scale. Offering over 3,000 sq ft of adaptable living space across four levels, this residence is perfectly suited to modern family life, multigenerational living, or professionals seeking room to grow in both style and comfort. Combining timeless character with generous proportions, the home enjoys a quiet yet highly convenient setting—placing key amenities, respected schools, and commuter links all within easy reach.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s impressive size and distinctive character are immediately apparent. A generous block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a large detached double garage—ideal for secure storage, workshop use, or potential conversion. The traditional frontage, with its original bay windows and inviting storm porch, reflects the early 20th-century origins of the house and sets the tone for what lies within.
Inside, the sense of space continues to unfold. A welcoming reception hallway—adorned with original leaded glass, a rich Amtico floor, and decorative ceiling rose—leads you through a layout that balances elegance with everyday functionality. To the front of the property, a bay-fronted lounge offers a refined yet comfortable setting, with high ceilings, a charming fireplace, and detailed cornicing that echo the home’s period roots. Just beyond, a separate formal dining room provides a perfect space for entertaining, while retaining a warm and intimate feel.
Towards the rear, an additional reception room creates a relaxed environment ideal for everyday living, with dual-aspect windows flooding the space with light and offering serene garden views. The fireplace, complete with cast iron detailing and tiled insert, adds a homely focal point. Flowing naturally from here is the breakfasting kitchen, well-appointed with an extensive range of cabinets, practical workspace, and access to the rear garden via a stable-style door. Exposed brick detailing and original recesses preserve the charm of the home, while thoughtful updates ensure functionality for modern-day cooking and dining.
One of the home’s standout features is the large cellar level, accessed via an inner lobby. This lower floor, rare in many homes, offers immense flexibility with full lighting, power, and plumbing. With a dedicated laundry room, WC, and access to the garden, this space could easily serve as a utility hub, workshop, wine cellar, or even be reimagined as additional recreational space—adaptable to whatever your lifestyle requires.
On the first floor, the home continues to impress with four generously sized double bedrooms, each with its own unique character. Whether used as traditional bedrooms, home offices, or dressing rooms, the size and versatility of these rooms are a key feature of the property. A beautifully styled family bathroom, complete with an original claw-foot roll-top bath and tasteful Victorian-inspired fittings, sits alongside a separate WC, providing convenience and comfort for the entire household.
Rising to the second floor, the principal bedroom suite offers a truly special retreat. Set within the converted attic, this expansive space spans the full width of the property and includes a private en-suite shower room, Velux skylights, and stunning views across the surrounding area. This floor is ideal for use as a luxury master suite, an independent living space for an older child or relative, or even a peaceful and private work-from-home environment.
Externally, the home enjoys well-maintained outdoor space both front and rear. The front garden is bordered with mature shrubs and flowers, adding kerb appeal and privacy, while a secure path leads through to the rear. At the back of the property, a lawned garden bordered by established planting provides a tranquil setting for outdoor living. A paved patio offers the perfect spot for summer entertaining, while steps lead directly back to the kitchen and cellar, creating a practical and well-connected layout.
In addition to the extensive accommodation and outdoor space, the property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, and a security alarm system—all ensuring year-round comfort and peace of mind.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a character-filled home of real substance, offering both traditional charm and modern adaptability in one of Rotherham’s most prized locations. With its generous square footage, flexible living arrangement, and unbeatable proximity to Rotherham Hospital, this property is perfectly placed for growing families, professionals, and anyone seeking space, style, and convenience in equal measure.

What is the Best Time to Sell a House?

Broadly speaking the best time to sell a house is:

"When there are the most amount of buyers

actively looking to buy"

This is due to the positive effect that competition has on your achievable sale price.

Buyer competing over a property will force out the best offers.

When you sell a house, this is a key factor behind getting the best price.

When to Sell a House - The 4 Seasons Compared

Selling a House in Spring:

Spring is a great time to sell a house or flat!

  • Gardens are in bloom
  • There's plenty of good light and mild weather
  • Properties look their best
  • The market is full with buyers

Spring is a pretty up-beat time of year. In good weather buyers are more prepared to go house hunting.

Also, many families look to match their purchase with the end of the school year.

Selling a House in Summer:

High summer has never been the best time to sell a house (especially a family one).

School Holidays are the big reason for this. Entertaining kids leaves little time for house hunting.

Plus, everyone else goes away on holiday. This peaks around August and the market dies.

If you have to sell a house in the summer, try to get it on the market as early as possible.

If your home is not on the market by early July you'll be putting yourself at a disadvantage.

Selling a House in Autumn:

Autumn has always been a good time to sell a house.

However, it's not as good as the Jan - July period. Still, if you're trying to sell in late Sept or Oct you've nothing to worry about.

Remember though, not many people want to move over Christmas so don't leave coming to market too late.

After the 2nd week of November buyers, like bears, tend to go into hibernation.

Selling a House in Winter:

Winter can be a harder time to sell but if you have that one property that someone has been waiting for, then you'll sell it. Boxing Day is a great time to list a property on the web portals. This is a time when all the family are together and looking at the properties together. 

Try Not to Sell a House in a Quiet Market!

This is because you loose the impact that a "fresh to the market" house has.

Please don't underestimate the importance of this.

As a general rule of thumb, you'll want to sell a house within 4-6 weeks, while it's fresh!

After this period property becomes "old news" and buyers start getting suspicious. They tend to assume something is wrong with the property and stay away.

When this happens you terminally damage your chance of getting best price.

If your house isn't selling it can become neglected by some agents(!) and then you truly are in a downward spiral of disappointment.

Exceptions to These Rules

Remember, it only takes one buyer to successfully sell a house!

In reality there are buyers out there 365 days a year. Just some days there are more than others.

If you are forced to sell a house during a quiet month - please don't worry!

You just need to recognise that you're at a disadvantage and act accordingly.

Be ultra-realistic about your price and concentrate twice as hard on how (and where) your property is marketed.  

As we mentioned at the top of this article, encouraging competition is the surest way to achieve the highest price when you sell a house.
