An exceptional five-bedroom, stone-fronted Victorian villa-style terrace, enviably positioned on a quiet, tree-lined road within a beautiful conservation area, immediately adjacent to the Botanical Gardens.

This fabulous period home offers substantial and versatile family accommodation arranged over four levels, with generous room proportions, high ceilings and large windows creating an impressive feeling of light and space throughout. A wealth of attractive original features has been retained, including sash windows, ornate ceiling coving, period fireplaces and beautiful stained glass.

Perfectly placed for the excellent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants found along Ecclesall Road, the property is also within easy reach of Sheffield City Centre, the railway station, universities and principal hospital buildings. Only a detailed internal inspection will allow the size, character and quality of this outstanding home to be fully appreciated.

The accommodation opens into a welcoming and spacious entrance hallway, featuring a front-facing glazed entrance door and a staircase with attractive balustrading rising to the first floor.

The elegant lounge enjoys a large front-facing sash bay window, which floods the room with natural light, together with a beautiful period feature fireplace and ornate ceiling coving. A separate dining room has a rear-facing sash window overlooking the garden, an attractive period fireplace and further decorative ceiling coving.

The generously proportioned breakfasting kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of wall and base units, with space for a range-style cooker and a traditional Belfast sink. A rear-facing sash window provides attractive views over the garden, while an adjacent stable-style door gives access outside. Original floor-to-ceiling fitted storage cupboards provide additional character and useful storage.

A doorway from the breakfasting kitchen, with steps beyond, leads down to the basement level. Here, there is a practical utility area with space and plumbing for a range of white goods, together with a WC comprising a low-flush WC and vanity wash hand basin.

To the first floor are three substantial double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The impressive principal bedroom occupies the front of the property and features a large sash bay window enjoying a pleasant open aspect, an original built-in cupboard and ornate ceiling coving.

Bedroom two is another generously sized double room with a rear-facing sash window and decorative ceiling coving. Bedroom three is also a good-sized double bedroom, with a rear-facing sash window and an attractive ornamental period fireplace.

The family bathroom is attractively tiled and comprises a low-flush WC, pedestal wash hand basin and a traditional roll-top bath with an electric shower above. A front-facing sash window provides natural light.

A staircase from the first-floor landing rises to the second floor, where a spacious landing area offers ample room for shelving and could create an ideal reading area or compact home office. Natural light is provided by a double-glazed Velux window.

Two further double bedrooms are found on this level. Bedroom four is a particularly spacious room with a front-facing uPVC window and rear-facing double-glazed Velux window, from which stunning, far-reaching views across the city can be enjoyed. The room also benefits from access in to the large eaves area which provides good storage. 

Bedroom five is another double bedroom with a front-facing uPVC window and access into the eaves, providing valuable additional storage.

Externally, the property is approached through an attractive and well-stocked front garden, with a pathway leading to the external entrance porch and front door.

To the rear is a fabulous, fully enclosed garden which enjoys an excellent degree of privacy. Designed for ease of maintenance, the garden is predominantly laid with artificial lawn and complemented by well-stocked planted borders, creating an attractive space for outdoor dining, entertaining and family enjoyment.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful Victorian family home in one of Sheffield's most desirable locations, with the Botanical Gardens, Ecclesall Road and the city's principal amenities all within easy reach.
