Situated on a coveted residential street in Ecclesall, this distinctive 1930s detached home offers both period elegance and modern functionality, with a notably expansive garden ripe for enhancement. Although the property has been carefully updated by the current owners, there remains ample opportunity for further development, particularly with the garage and basement areas (subject to planning permissions). The residence is characterized by original features such as ornate stained glass windows, while also benefiting from gas central heating and mostly double-glazed windows. A block-paved driveway accommodates parking for two vehicles.
The welcoming entrance porch introduces a warm gracious ambiance, leading into a hallway that flows seamlessly into a beautifully updated living room. This space is enhanced by dual aspect windows and French doors that access the rear garden, finished in modern greens with a wood burner and custom cabinetry adding to its charm. Adjacent lies a family dining room that captures lovely garden views. The kitchen presents contrasting two-tone cabinetry equipped with an integrated double oven, gas hob, dishwasher, and a practical walk-in pantry. A side door grants entry to the substantial garage which includes a utility area and provides direct garden access – ideal for future renovations.
Ascending the stylish panelled staircase reveals three spacious double bedrooms along with a fourth more compact bedroom accommodating the boiler cupboard. The master bedroom features custom wardrobes and serene views of the garden, creating an inviting personal retreat. The family bathroom has seen recent updates with modern fixtures including a separate shower and stylish tiling.
The basement space is partially converted for storage and fits an occasional playroom or home office but holds significant potential for further development that could connect directly to the garden.
The standout feature here is undoubtedly the large rear garden - private, tranquil, and invitingly green—enriched by mature trees, fruit trees, and vegetable patches all kept within established hedging. This outdoor retreat serves as an ideal escape for relaxation or family activities.
Knowle Lane boasts excellent proximity to local schools as well as various shops at Banner Cross. Nearby are Ecclesall Wood, Endcliffe Park, and Millhouses Park offering abundant green spaces for enjoyment. With regular public transport links available for easy city access including hospitals, universities, train stations, and proximity to the Peak District, this property marries suburban peace with city convenience.
