WHAT THE OWNER SAYS
"We’ve really loved living here. On weekends we often pop down to The Grindstone for a drink and to watch the football, or head to Roses for a great sandwich. Sorrels is our go-to for something sweet, and we’re spoilt for choice with brilliant coffee at Crumb, CAWA and Aesthete. The location has been perfect, we can walk easily to Crookes, Crosspool and Broomhill, with several parks nearby. The road itself is quiet and with nothing overlooking the back, the garden feels wonderfully private and peaceful.”

Tucked away in a popular spot, this charming home blends period character with thoughtful modern touches, offering flexible living across three floors and a south-facing garden that makes the most of the sunshine.

You enter at the back of the property into a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room. Fitted with timeless shaker-style units, tiled splashbacks and integrated appliances including a slimline dishwasher, oven, microwave, gas hob and fridge/freezer, it’s a space designed for both everyday life and entertaining. There’s plenty of room for a dining table, a chimney breast adding character, and a glazed door that floods the room with natural light while opening onto the garden. From here, you’ll also find access to the cellar, which runs beneath the lounge and provides valuable storage. At the front, the lounge offers a cosy retreat, complete with chimney breast, seating space and its own external door and window to the side.

On the first floor, you’ll discover a generous double bedroom with a large cupboard under the stairs, and a versatile single bedroom that works equally well as a nursery or home office. The bathroom has been finished to a beautiful standard, with period-style details that give it real charm. Partially tiled walls add a timeless touch, while the traditional towel radiator complements the design. A bath with shower above, along with a WC and a washbasin with built-in storage beneath, provide both style and practicality, creating a space that feels elegant yet functional.

Upstairs again, the second-floor double bedroom features a dormer window overlooking the garden and handy storage above the stairs.

Outside, there’s a small forecourt at the front with steps leading to the main entrance, while the private, south-facing rear garden is a true highlight. With a lawn, planted borders and a patio seating area that catches the sun all day and well into the evening, it’s perfect for summer barbecues or quiet evenings outdoors. A rear gate leads to garages and parking, which can be hired for around £10 per month, making day-to-day life even more convenient.
