What The Owner Says
"We've lived here since January 2022 and have loved every moment of it. We were initially drawn to the house by it being detached with off-road parking, which seems very rare in Crookes, but what really blew us away was the view.

The layout makes the house unique too; the split-level design means the kitchen and dining room connect to the living room down a small set of stairs, which gives it such a cosy feel. We also love how tucked away we are, it makes the house really quiet, and the garden isn't overlooked, so it feels lovely and private. But we're still so close to the shops and cafes, especially for picking up pastries from Crumb!”

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac off Stannington View Road, this home offers a genuinely private setting with some of the best views this side of the city.

Step through the porch and the layout reveals itself immediately: the kitchen/dining room to the left, steps down to the lounge on the right, and stairs rising to the upper floors ahead. The kitchen/dining room is a sociable space, with room for a dining table set beneath the front window, while the U-shaped kitchen makes clever use of a peninsular for extra storage and worktop space alongside the sink and drainer. A tall integrated fridge/freezer is already in place, with space allowed for a range cooker, and a door out to the carport makes unloading the shopping refreshingly easy.

Down a few steps, the lounge is a real highlight, generously proportioned with plenty of room to relax, and a window that frames uninterrupted views over Rivelin Valley. A door from the lounge leads down to a useful cellar/storage room, with space and plumbing for a washing machine, keeping laundry out of the way of everyday life.

Upstairs, the first floor is home to two double bedrooms and the bathroom. Bedroom one continues the theme of those incredible valley views, complemented by built-in wardrobes, while bedroom two is a smaller double, with built-in storage and a window overlooking the garden. The bathroom has been thoughtfully designed to include a freestanding bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, washbasin and towel radiator, all finished to a smart, modern standard.

A short flight of steps up from the landing leads to bedroom three, a single room with a Velux window and generous built-in storage, ideal as a home office or nursery, tucked away from the rest of the house for quiet, focused use.

Outside, the carport provides handy covered parking, with two further parking spaces in front of the property. Steps to the right of the front door lead down into the garden. The first thing you reach is a fantastic patio, set to the side of the property, a private suntrap that's perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks, with those same sweeping views over Rivelin Valley. A few steps further down, the lawn opens out and the garden wraps around to the rear, where established planting offers a strong foundation for anyone looking to put their own stamp on the landscaping.
