What The Owner Says
"The front of the house faces south, so the living room gets lots of light and warmth. The garden gets plenty of sun too, which makes it great for relaxing or playing outside with the kids. It’s private enough to feel enclosed, but there are spots where you can chat to the neighbours, who are both very friendly.

I’ll miss the kitchen. It’s a great shape for cooking and entertaining, and we’ve bought the same oven and dishwasher for our new house because we’ve found them so useful. Out the front there’s a little veg patch, and the garden has fresh herbs (bay, sage, rosemary and thyme) along with currants and blueberries at the back.

Two playgrounds are within walking distance, and I’ve loved being able to walk to work at the Hallamshire Hospital. The coffee at Cloud Coffee is a favourite, and obviously the pastries from Crumb."

Property Description
Most homes in Crookes are terraces without off-street parking. This semi-detached house on a cul-de-sac has room for two cars, very little passing traffic, and a short walk to the independent cafes, shops and pubs Crookes is known for. At its centre is a kitchen diner with space for a large table, and behind it an enclosed garden that feels private, with a workshop at the far end.

Two cars fit on the drive at the front, beside established flower beds, and the entrance is at the side of the house with the stairs rising straight ahead. A lean-to links the front of the property to the rear garden, with useful storage and plumbing for the washing machine, so laundry can live out here rather than in the kitchen.

The living room is on the left, with a bay window at the front and space for seating. The chimney breast has built-in shelving on either side, which gives books and photographs a ready home.

To the right is the dining kitchen, and it is the room that will see the most use. The large dining table sits in front of another chimney breast, with a storage cupboard under the stairs and more storage beside the chimney. At the far side of the room, the modern kitchen has plenty of storage and worktop space, and a peninsula that doubles as a breakfast bar. Whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation, or within reach of homework being done at the table. There is an integrated oven and grill, an electric hob and an integrated dishwasher, and the door to the rear garden is in the kitchen, so the lawn is one door away.

Upstairs, the largest bedroom is a double at the front, with a bay window and built-in wardrobes either side of the chimney breast. The second bedroom is a large single at the back, overlooking the garden. The third sits at the side of the house and works as a nursery or a home office. The bathroom is bright and well kept, with tiled walls, a pale green glass mosaic border and a window above the bath. There is a shower over the bath with a glass screen, a wash basin set in a grey vanity unit with cupboard space beneath, a mirrored wall cabinet and a WC.

The garden is a good size and enclosed, with a lawn that would suit small children and dogs. It feels private. At the far end, the workshop has power and lighting, so it could be a home office or simply very good storage.

General information
The property tenure is freehold.


Crookes is one of the most sought-after suburbs with young professionals and families as it has a fantastic, vibrant high street. Time Out named it the sixth coolest neighbourhood in the UK in its 2026 list. Coffee lovers are well served, with Cloud Coffee Co, Lisboa Cafe & Patisserie, Dana Cafe, Pom Kitchen and Crumb to name a few. For more treats, Sorrel’s Cocoa Bakery is a must and Tenaya Wine has a stock to keep any wine lover happy. For dinner, No Name is so popular that you need to book well in advance. And for that after-work pint, The Grindstone, The Punch Bowl, The Ball, Early Bar and Two Sheds all make a good stop.

Crookes also has plenty of greenspace, and Bole Hills stands out, with a playground, BMX track and incredible views down Rivelin Valley, especially at sunset. It’s an incredibly popular spot for dog owners too.
