Camborne Road, Sheffield

MODERN METHOD OF AUCTION! Looks can be deceiving — while this property appears to be a bungalow from the road, in reality it is a substantial five bedroom detached house arranged over three floors, bursting with retro charm and bags of potential. Seeing really is believing!

The property does require some upgrading and modernisation throughout, but this presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers to add their own stamp and create a home tailored entirely to their taste. There is further scope to extend the property, subject to the necessary permissions, while the generous and versatile layout also offers plenty of options to reconfigure the existing space to suit your lifestyle.

Set on a leafy plot bordering woodland, the property benefits from a sizeable garden and ample off road parking. It occupies a sought-after, leafy road within the area, offering the perfect balance of peaceful surroundings and everyday convenience — within walking distance to an array of local amenities, a short drive into Sheffield city centre, and with direct road links to the M1. The property is also surrounded by reputable schools and well served by good public bus routes.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of real character, space and huge potential — early viewing is highly recommended.

Entrance Porch - Through wood glazed French doors leads into a small porch area, perfect for muddy paw or wellies, tiled flooring, light and glazed uPVC door leading into the hallway.

Entrance Hall - A roomy entrance hall greets you, featuring wonderful retro wood panelling that hints at the home's seventies character. A large built-in storage cupboard doubles as a cloakroom, while a wall mounted radiator and telephone point add practicality.

Kitchen - 3.30m x 2.97m (10'10 x 9'9) - A contemporary kitchen hosting medium wood wall and base units providing plenty of storage, with contrasting black work surfaces and an inset stainless steel one and a half bowl sink. An inset gas hob with extractor fan above sits alongside an integrated electric oven and grill, with under counter space and plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher. Inset spotlighting and two uPVC windows complete the room, with a wall mounted radiator providing warmth. For those seeking a more open plan feel, there is scope to knock through into the adjoining living area, subject to the necessary permissions.

Living Room - 5.05m x 4.04m (16'7 x 13'3) - A light and airy living room, drenched in natural light through a large rear facing uPVC window and a further window to the side elevation, showcasing wonderful views over the garden and woodland beyond.

Dining Room - 3.48m x 2.74m (11'5 x 9'0) - A generously sized dining room with two tall uPVC windows, wall mounted radiator and uPVC French doors opening out onto the veranda. While currently not structurally sound and in need of some upgrading and strengthening before use, the elevated veranda is a great addition to the household and would make a wonderful space to enjoy during the summer months once restored.

Bedroom 1 - 4.57m x 3.73m (15'0 x 12'3) - An impressively sized master bedroom hosting two walls of fitted cream wardrobes and vanity unit, aerial point, wall mounted radiator and uPVC rear window overlooking the garden.

Ground Floor Workshop/Garage - 6.78m x 5.13m (22'3 x 16'10) - There is so much potential to be found beneath the house, with this sizeable workshop/garage offering wonderfully versatile space — further living accommodation, a games room, home gym, the possibilities really are endless. The room currently hosts lighting, electrics and a cold water tap, with a door leading through to a further large store room housing the combi boiler, lighting and sockets.

Garden Room - 4.85m x 3.53m (15'11 x 11'7) - Built around the veranda, using it as its roof, this uPVC sun room would need some upgrading to make it fully liveable, currently having no lighting or electrics and therefore used as a garden room/store at present. However, it holds real potential to be transformed into a lovely sitting room, outdoor bar, or whatever your imagination desires.

Garage - Offering secure parking or that extra storage we all crave, complete with up and over door.

Exterior - The property lies on a very extensive plot, with plenty of scope to extend if desired, subject to the necessary permissions.
