Chantrey Road, Woodseats, S8

Perfect for first time buyers and bursting with potential is this spacious three double bedroomed semi-detached property. Being perfectly located in the heart of one of Sheffield's sought after suburbs, the property also benefits from not only having an abundance of shops, cafes and pubs within easy walking distance but also the ever popular Graves Park.

It has been tastefully finished and has a versatile range of accommodation arranged over three levels. Briefly consists of
entrance hallway, large front facing lounge, dining room, kitchen, family bathroom, large cellar with plumbing (currently used as a utility space), three double bedrooms (one with en-suite) and an integral garage.

It is possible to further develop the property, (subject to the necessary planning consent). A structural engineers report confirms that the garage foundations would accept an additional storey above the garage, which could create additional living accommodation.

Outside is off road parking to the front a larger than average garden to the rear.

At the most southern part of S8, you will find Lowedges, Greenhill, Batemoor and Jordanthorpe. These areas are removed from the hustle and bustle of Sheffield City Centre and the University campuses. There are still plenty of local amenities and with Woodseats and Chesterfield Road only being a 10 minute bus ride away, so if you fancy something a bit more lively then you've not far to go.

No mean feat considering that it is only open in the day between 9am and 3pm. It's speciality of a homemade scotch egg is something not to be missed.
