Sledgate Lane, Wickersley, Rotherham

Located on a highly desirable private road in Wickersley on a 1/4 of an acre plot, Salisbury House is a four bedroomed detached residence which is beautifully appointed for family living and offers sizeable accommodation throughout. Immaculately manicured gardens are a wonderful accompaniment to the home and a gated and walled frontage creates attractive roadside appeal, privacy and exclusivity.

Dating back to 1937, Salisbury House still retains much of its original character, from stunning parquet flooring in the entrance hall to lovely oak panelling on the walls.

The main reception rooms are filled with natural light and include an exceptionally spacious lounge featuring a limestone fireplace, a superb bay-windowed dining room and a fabulous sun room that overlooks the rear garden. The breakfast kitchen is well-proportioned and connects to a useful pantry and utility room. A side lobby provides a secondary entrance and links the main accommodation to a store, WC and integral garage.

Across the first floor, four double bedrooms provide ample space for a growing family. The master bedroom is equipped with a well-appointed en-suite bathroom and three of the bedrooms contain fitted furniture. There is also a family bathroom and a versatile study, which could be utilised as a nursery. Each of the front facing rooms benefit from scenic views across fields. The extensive loft is accessed from the landing via a drop-down Slingsby wooden ladder and is fully boarded, offering potential for conversion into additional living space (subject to necessary planning consents).

The outdoor spaces make this home truly special. Standing behind brick walling and electric gates, a block paved driveway accommodates parking for several vehicles. Alongside the driveway is a neatly planted, established garden and access is provided to a store, previously an enclosed car port. To the rear of the property, a block paved patio spans the width of the elevation, allowing plenty of space for outdoor seating. The garden is beautifully landscaped, containing an array of mature planting and a fish pond with a cascading water feature.
