Crofton Avenue, Hillsborough, S6 1WF

Why You’ll Love It
Crofton Avenue is a lovely residential road right at the heart of Hillsborough, well known for its handsome terraces, friendly neighbours, and enviable convenience. Just moments from the bustling high street and Hillsborough Park. From the kerb, it boasts classic Sheffield terrace charm, with a stone wall and front garden, bay-fronted window, and a delightful side entrance that offers added privacy and charm.

Entry down the gennel of the house you are welcomed by a traditional side entrance – an often-desired feature in this style of home. To the front of the home lies a spacious living room with a lovely bay window, flooding the space with natural light and offering a leafy outlook over the avenue. High ceilings and original features evoke timeless character, while the proportions lend themselves well to modern lifestyles. To the rear, you’ll find a separate dining room with ample space for entertaining or relaxed family meals. This leads through to an off-shot kitchen with garden access – a space brimming with potential for future renovation or even extension, subject to planning and consents. The kitchen enjoys a lovely aspect onto the rear garden and benefits from good natural light.

Upstairs on the first floor are two large double bedrooms, each with generous dimensions and the continued character of high ceilings and large windows. Also on this level is the family bathroom, positioned in the off-shot at the rear – a good-sized space that could easily accommodate modern fixtures and fittings once refurbished. The top floor reveals a large attic bedroom, perfect as a principal suite, guest room, or home office. Adding significant square footage and value to the property, and with some thoughtful cosmetic updates, it could become a beautiful retreat.

Outside, the rear garden is enclosed and private, ideal for creating a tranquil outdoor space. With thoughtful landscaping and a little imagination, it could become a haven for relaxing, dining, or growing.

 
Why We Love It
Hillsborough continues to be one of Sheffield’s most desirable neighbourhoods, and it’s not hard to see why. Living on Crofton Avenue means you’re only a short walk from all the essentials and more. There’s the beautiful Hillsborough Park – a vast green space with a duck pond, walled garden, café, and library – just a few minutes down the road. The super-connected tram and bus routes mean you can be in the city centre or at the universities and hospitals in no time at all.

The high street has everything you need: independent shops, cafes, supermarkets, pubs, and takeaways – all within easy walking distance. And if you’re a fan of community spirit, you’ll find it in abundance here, with friendly neighbours, strong local schools, and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer looking for a project, an investor seeking your next renovation, or a growing family wanting to put down roots in a popular part of the city, this home is a rare opportunity to buy on a road that doesn’t often see properties come up for sale.

While the home does require updating throughout – including full redecoration, modernisation of the kitchen and bathroom, and general repairs – it offers a wonderful footprint with excellent bones and fantastic potential. With the right vision, this could be an exceptional forever home.
