Westbrook House, 83 Porter Brook View, Sheffield

Occupying the ground floor of a Grade II listed Georgian Manor House, this exquisite four bedroomed apartment is brimming with unique character and over 3700 sq.ft. of luxurious living spaces. A private, wrap-around garden terrace presents a wonderful outdoor space that perfectly complements the internal accommodation.

The main building dates back to 1840 and was originally built by the Wilson family, owners of the Sharrow Snuff Mill, as their private residence. Today, Westbrook House has retained its period grandeur including features such as high coved ceilings, panelled archways, timber sash windows and a beautiful original staircase.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the dining kitchen.

The kitchen itself has been finished to a high standard and incorporates polished copper and quartz work surfaces, space for a range cooker and a breakfast bar extends to provide room for four chairs. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room with further storage.

A place of pure tranquillity and style, the lounge has been thoughtfully decorated to create a homely feel. Stepping in through gorgeous double doors set within a tall archway with decorative leaded panels, the sense of period charm is immediately striking. The room is adorned by floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a media wall incorporating illuminated mirrored shelving and an electric log-effect fire.

The master bedroom offers a sanctuary for relaxation, which is filled with natural light through a large bay window. Within the suite is a walk-in wardrobe with fitted storage and a modern en-suite bathroom.
