Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached home set within a private three-quarter acre plot.
Enjoying elevated views across the valley, the property offers over 2,700 sq ft of flexible living space.
The layout includes four double bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, and modern kitchen and bathroom suites. Extensive gardens, stables, and outbuildings offer exciting potential for a range of uses or redevelopment. Perfectly located in a quiet residential area with excellent access to local amenities and transport links. A spacious and versatile home with scope for further development, subject to planning permission.

Description - Set within an exceptional three-quarter acre plot and enjoying an elevated position with sweeping, far-reaching views across the valley, this distinctive detached residence offers a rare blend of space, flexibility, and future potential. Extending to over 2,700 square feet, the home is generously proportioned and thoughtfully laid out—making it ideal for a wide range of buyers, from growing families and multigenerational households to those seeking a lifestyle property with scope for development.
Approached via a private driveway, the property is set back from the road and offers ample off-street parking along with an integral garage. Its attractive frontage and neatly maintained grounds create an immediate sense of quality and welcome. Inside, the home is bright, spacious, and well-presented throughout, with a versatile layout spread over two floors to suit a variety of modern living arrangements.
On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hallway provides access to the main reception spaces. These include a formal dining room and a generously sized lounge, filled with natural light and offering uninterrupted views over the garden and valley beyond. The lounge is a particularly standout feature, enhanced by sliding doors that open directly onto the rear garden—making the most of the home’s elevated position and creating a calm, expansive atmosphere.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been designed with both practicality and sociability in mind. It features generous countertop space, quality fitted units, and large garden-facing windows that fill the room with light. Perfect for everyday living or informal family meals, the space also flows seamlessly into a separate utility room that adds further convenience and storage.
Two well-proportioned ground-floor bedrooms and a stylish modern shower room add valuable flexibility—ideal for accommodating guests, older relatives, or for use as home offices or hobby rooms, depending on your needs.
Upstairs, the first floor continues to impress with two large double bedrooms. The principal suite is a true retreat: spacious and serene, it boasts dual-aspect windows, bespoke fitted wardrobes, and private access to the main family bathroom. The bathroom itself is well-appointed with a full-size bath, separate shower, and a skylight that bathes the space in natural light. Thanks to its generous proportions, the principal suite also presents potential to be reconfigured—perhaps to create an additional bedroom or dressing area, subject to requirements. The second upstairs bedroom is equally spacious and enjoys a bright, airy feel.
What truly sets this home apart, however, is the scale and scope of its outdoor space.
To the rear, the extensive garden is much larger than average, featuring a wide lawned area framed by mature trees that provide privacy, seclusion, and a wonderful outlook. Formerly used as a smallholding, the garden also houses a set of stables—offering potential for conversion into a home office, gym, studio, or summer house (subject to planning permission). Whether you're a keen gardener, animal lover, or simply value outdoor space, the possibilities here are considerable.
Furthermore, the size and orientation of the side plot presents further development potential. Subject to planning, there is scope to build an additional dwelling, create an annex, or establish an income-generating space. Favourable pre-application discussions have already been held with Rotherham Council regarding the possibility of constructing a bungalow on this section of the land. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the office for further details.
Situated in a peaceful and well-regarded residential area, the property benefits from excellent access to local amenities, including schools, shops, and parks. Meadowhall Shopping Centre, Sheffield city centre, and key transport links are also within easy reach—making this a convenient yet tranquil setting.
This is a home that has been clearly cherished over the years, offering excellent internal proportions and a wonderful garden plot—while also serving as a fantastic canvas for future enhancement. With substantial square footage, a generous and private plot, and exciting scope for extension or development, this is a unique opportunity not to be missed.
Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, setting, and untapped potential of this remarkable home.

What is the Best Time to Sell a House?

Broadly speaking the best time to sell a house is:

"When there are the most amount of buyers

actively looking to buy"

This is due to the positive effect that competition has on your achievable sale price.

Buyer competing over a property will force out the best offers.

When you sell a house, this is a key factor behind getting the best price.

When to Sell a House - The 4 Seasons Compared

Selling a House in Spring:

Spring is a great time to sell a house or flat!

  • Gardens are in bloom
  • There's plenty of good light and mild weather
  • Properties look their best
  • The market is full with buyers

Spring is a pretty up-beat time of year. In good weather buyers are more prepared to go house hunting.

Also, many families look to match their purchase with the end of the school year.

Selling a House in Summer:

High summer has never been the best time to sell a house (especially a family one).

School Holidays are the big reason for this. Entertaining kids leaves little time for house hunting.

Plus, everyone else goes away on holiday. This peaks around August and the market dies.

If you have to sell a house in the summer, try to get it on the market as early as possible.

If your home is not on the market by early July you'll be putting yourself at a disadvantage.

Selling a House in Autumn:

Autumn has always been a good time to sell a house.

However, it's not as good as the Jan - July period. Still, if you're trying to sell in late Sept or Oct you've nothing to worry about.

Remember though, not many people want to move over Christmas so don't leave coming to market too late.

After the 2nd week of November buyers, like bears, tend to go into hibernation.

Selling a House in Winter:

Winter can be a harder time to sell but if you have that one property that someone has been waiting for, then you'll sell it. Boxing Day is a great time to list a property on the web portals. This is a time when all the family are together and looking at the properties together. 

Try Not to Sell a House in a Quiet Market!

This is because you loose the impact that a "fresh to the market" house has.

Please don't underestimate the importance of this.

As a general rule of thumb, you'll want to sell a house within 4-6 weeks, while it's fresh!

After this period property becomes "old news" and buyers start getting suspicious. They tend to assume something is wrong with the property and stay away.

When this happens you terminally damage your chance of getting best price.

If your house isn't selling it can become neglected by some agents(!) and then you truly are in a downward spiral of disappointment.

Exceptions to These Rules

Remember, it only takes one buyer to successfully sell a house!

In reality there are buyers out there 365 days a year. Just some days there are more than others.

If you are forced to sell a house during a quiet month - please don't worry!

You just need to recognise that you're at a disadvantage and act accordingly.

Be ultra-realistic about your price and concentrate twice as hard on how (and where) your property is marketed.  

As we mentioned at the top of this article, encouraging competition is the surest way to achieve the highest price when you sell a house.
