The current owner has loved living here for its peaceful setting, the road is now wonderfully quiet thanks to recent traffic calming at the top of Hands Road, meaning no through traffic and a much more relaxed feel. There’s also a real sense of community, with friendly neighbours on both sides, especially those they share the garden boundary with.

Location-wise, it couldn’t be better. You’re just a 15-minute stroll from Crookes, Walkley or Broomhill, each offering its own brilliant mix of shops, cafés and places to eat (including the all-important Crumb Bakery on Crookes high street!). It’s also just a 25-minute walk into the city centre, and just a short drive or cycle out to the Peaks, ideal for walking, running or biking in the fresh air. Plus, with green spaces like the Bolehills, Crookes Valley Park and Weston Park all nearby, there’s no shortage of places to unwind outdoors or take the dog for a walk. The garden itself catches the afternoon and evening sun, the perfect spot to enjoy a quiet evening after a day exploring.

Starting in the kitchen, it’s a modern space with units both above and below a warm oak worktop, a lovely contrast that gives it a bit of character. You’ve got a classic bevelled tile splashback and space for a freestanding cooker and washing machine. The sink and drainer sit just beneath the rear window, giving you a lovely view out onto the garden while you’re doing the washing up.

From here, we move through to the dining room, which has exposed floorboards underfoot and plenty of room for a table and chairs, perfect for family meals or hosting friends. There’s a chimney breast feature and access down to the cellar. Plus, there’s a handy spot for a tall fridge-freezer tucked neatly to one side.

Next up is the living room at the front of the house. Again, those floorboards carry through, and there’s lots of space for comfy seating. You’ve got a fireplace set into the chimney breast with shelving to the side, a lovely feature that adds warmth and storage. There’s also an external door that leads out to the front.

Heading upstairs to the first floor, we’ve got two bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom is a good-sized double with exposed floorboards and a useful cupboard tucked under the stairs, great for extra storage. The second bedroom is a cosy single that’s currently set up as a home office, making it ideal for hybrid working or guests.

The bathroom is practical and well-presented with a bath and shower over the top, WC, washbasin and a towel radiator to keep things toasty.

Up on the second floor, you’ll find another double bedroom with Velux windows at the front and back, letting in plenty of natural light and giving you some lovely rooftop views.

Outside, the rear garden is a sweet space, there’s a small lawn with flowerbeds to the side and back, and a west-facing seating area that catches the afternoon and evening sun. Perfect for a bit of outdoor dining or a quiet cuppa at the end of the day.
