Arran Road, Crookes

Owned by the same family for 68 years, this much-loved home offers a rare opportunity to buy in a fantastic location. With a unique layout that includes three bedrooms on the first floor and a secure, south-facing rear garden, there’s brilliant potential to extend (subject to consent). The property is in need of modernisation but sits within the catchment for popular schools and is just a short walk to the shops, cafes and pubs of both Crookes and Crosspool.

You enter into a welcoming hallway with stairs to the first floor on the left, with storage space underneath and access to the lounge and kitchen on the right. At the end of the hallway, there’s a useful store cupboard, downstairs WC and a door leading out to the rear garden.

The lounge sits at the front of the property and is a comfortable space with plenty of room for seating. A bay window fills the room with natural light, and the chimneybreast with fireplace and electric fire adds character and warmth. The kitchen is set to the rear, with a practical L-shaped layout, space for a breakfast table, and views across the garden. There’s room for a freestanding cooker, under-counter fridge and washing machine, with the sink positioned beneath the window.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, a large double at the front with a bay window, a second double overlooking the garden, and a third room ideal as a single bedroom, nursery or home office. The bathroom currently includes a shower cubicle and a vanity unit with built-in storage, washbasin and a WC.

Outside, the front garden is low-maintenance with a mix of paving and planted borders. The rear garden is south-facing and a real highlight, a great size, with two lawned areas divided by a central path, flowerbeds on both sides, and a hardstanding at the back, ideal for a seating area or shed. There’s also a gated path from the garden leading directly onto Cross Lane.
