Grange Court 71 Ashland Road | Nether Edge | | S7 1RH GRANGE COURT

Grange Court is situated at the top of a popular residential street, just a few minutes from : it is an impressive example of a large detached Victorian residence, dating back to 1852. The house sits centrally on a lovely big plot, with land and gardens to all four sides. Ashland Road is very quiet, and yet is only a few minutes from both the city centre and the Peak District. The house itself hasn’t been greatly altered over time so it simply oozes character and charm and retains many original features. Grange Court.indd 1 08/06/2018 10:07 Grange Court.indd 2 08/06/2018 10:07 A large natural stone detached Victorian house with six bedrooms, five bathrooms and stunning reception rooms, all spaciously arranged over three floors and set within beautiful enclosed gardens extending over a third of an acre. With Garage and outbuildings.

Situated on the edge of the Nether Edge Conservation Area at its Southern tip and close to woodland, the house and gardens offer views over this highly sought after leafy suburb and the whole city beyond.

Grange Court retains a great deal of exquisite Victorian period detailing both inside and outside.

Grange Court.indd 3 08/06/2018 10:07 Ground floor The reception hall is a large open space, central to the house and with a complete Minton mosaic tiled floor. The stairwell is significant, rising gently through half landings: stained glass floods the space with colourful natural light and there is an open marble fireplace for cosy winter months. Other period features include deep ceiling cornices, picture rails, high skirtings, cast iron radiators and stained glass throughout.

An entrance porch protects the finer detail of the remarkable main entrance door and can serve as a cloakroom.

The Sitting room has a grand yet comfortable feel with original stained glass in both large windows and an opulent Neoclassical fireplace.

The dining room has a splendid stained-glass bay and an ornate carved fireplace with horse-shoe cast inset for a living flame fire: mouldings are deep and the floor is timber.

The dining kitchen connects to the terraces and gardens through french doors, and to the rear lobby entrance. The kitchen is traditionally fitted around a decorative wooden floor: there is a range and plenty of dining space. A large adjacent utility room offers further space.

Cellars are both internal (with wine keep, larder and a separate tanked space for the laundry room) and external (with garden access and housing utility meters and boiler room).

When we bought the house in 2009 it wasn’t in bad shape, but was definitely in need of a bit of TLC and updating. The number and volume of rooms meant that we didn’t need to touch the basic structure, but we have updated the interior, fixed the roof, had a new boiler installed, upgraded the electrics… all the things needed to turn it into a comfortable family home, ideal for modern living and one that is in excellent condition throughout.”

“We have a lovely kitchen/diner, a really handy utility-cum-boot room and all of the white goods are hidden away in one of the cellar rooms. Each of the reception rooms is generously proportioned and there are so many really lovely original features. We have deep skirting and ornate coving, there are lovely fireplaces in most of the rooms, and the original Victorian floor tiles in the hall. The windows are large, allowing light to flood in and the windows have the original stained-glass panels intact. It’s a unique and very beautiful home.”

“The house is set well back from the road and the garden completely encloses the house, It’s very mature, so provides a gorgeous outlook, and incorporates lots of varied and interesting areas to sit out and relax in. Despite its height, the house is so well screened that a lot of people have said that they didn’t even know it was here. I think that’s one of the things we’ve really enjoyed, the fact that within the house and garden you get this wonderful feeling of seclusion, and yet we have everything we could possibly want or need on our doorstep.” *
