Location Whirlow Court Road runs from South at the top down past Whirlow Grove to Whirlowdale Road at the bottom. Number 70 is situated close to the top of the road on the right hand side as you are proceeding up the hill. Whirlow is a hugely popular suburb situated towards the edge of Sheffield's city limits close to some pretty and scenic walks running through and out of the Limb Valley towards and the Lady Canning's Plantation. The area has always been a firm family favourite due to its close proximity to some excellent local schools including Dobcroft junior and Silverdale secondary, although school catchments should always be confirmed with Sheffield City Council. At the weekends the Whirlow Hall Farm Trust can be visited, providing home grown produce and a lovely café situated in the woods at Ecclesall Woods Saw Mill, which also sees regular visits throughout the year. For those wishing to commute into the city the A625 is one of the main arterial routes and has regular transport links and a short drive in the other direction leads you out to the breathtaking scenery of the National Park.

Description This traditional 1920's semi detached was built within the grounds of Whirlow Court which was the former home of Colonel Batchelor. The home has only changed ownership four times in its near one hundred year history and as such has retained a number of lovely original features . The current vendors acquired the house in 2005 when it had been owned by a Mr Benjamin Bagshaw for the previous 63 years. Mr Bagshaw had maintained the home very well but our vendors embarked on a very sympathetic modernisation blending the original features with a modern design, also extending the property to the rear to form a larger kitchen and conservatory, currently utilised as a dining room. They also landscaped the gardens into outside rooms for the warmer months of the year, when the whole rear of the property can be opened up for parties and barbecues. For the family market, requiring even more space, the property has a cavernous loft awaiting conversion to provide additional bedrooms and bathrooms, subject to the necessary consents.

The property is approached via a block paved drive at the front which provides off road parking for two vehicles. The entrance hall boasts original oak panelling sets a very good first impression. The sitting room has a front facing bay window and a lovely oak fire surround frames the gas living flame stove. The original dining room is now utilised as a second reception room, ideal for the family market, and sporting a lovely Edwardian fire surround framing an additional gas stove. From here French windows open to a substantial conservatory. Being centrally heated this space is usable throughout the year, even in the cooler winter months and is currently used as a dining room. It also provides a lovely setting to overlook one's garden, which can be

accessed via French windows. The extended kitchen is finished to a high specification including smart granite worktops over the fitted units which feature integral appliances and a range. There is also a pantry doubling as a utility room as it has plumbing for the necessary appliances. Very often four bedroom semi detached houses have accommodation over three floors; however this one doesn't, and therefore saves cleaning and accessing another floor entirely, while retaining the potential to develop the loft.

The first floor features four bedrooms alongside a bathroom and separate wc. Three of the bedrooms are good sized doubles, the remainder is a generously proportioned side facing single. The bathroom and separate wc, situated on the rear elevation, both feature modern suites and tiling and as my vendor correctly says, this traditional property has certainly retained its original features and these have blended very skilfully and sympathetically with the modern touches added in recent years. A property which is sure to impress the discerning purchaser.
