This stunning, ultra-modern family home in Sheffield is not only a bold and intelligent design and creation, it also boasts some of the most spectacular views in the area and – a useful brag for the neighbours – has the largest private garden on the road!
It may look subtle and unassuming from the main entrance, but this 7-bed home opens into an impressive, light-filled family home, with the main open-plan living space at the back of the house opening up completely to the gardens with double-height windows and wall-to-wall sliding doors.
Spilling out into the back garden will be seamless, as large terraces guide the occupants out to seating areas and a beautifully-landscaped lawn. A hot tub bubbles happily at the edge of the terrace, while the lawns and gardens are dotted with cosy lounging areas for wiling away balmy afternoons.
The family will enjoy exploring the vast gardens, which stretch further than expected in this property, and the views will be a real treat no matter the time of day or season.
Back inside the house, the main ground floor living area is complemented by a large dining space and a neat, stylishly-finished kitchen and breakfast area.
The real asset of this main living space in this incredible heated swimming pool which has been made into a design feature as much as a welcome and useful utility for the family. With windows onto the living area and bi-fold doors opening to the gardens, swimming will feel outdoors not matter the weather and become a real feature of entertaining.
Moving upstairs, the seven bedrooms are all impressive and yet unique, creating welcoming and distinctive spaces for the family and their guests alike.
The master bedroom enjoys the most commanding position in the property, with a large outdoor terrace and ample space inside, as well as a private spiral staircase leading up to a higher roof terrace.
The bathrooms that are either en-suite or for shared family use are as opulent as the rest of the house. These are large, immaculate areas with free standing tubs and rain showers, all of which appear as art works rather than mere cleaning facilities.
Some of the rooms have been given a splash of colour and youthful quirk to suit younger householders, which provides food for thought when it comes to fresh decoration. Wonderfully, all bedrooms have access to a balcony that runs the length of the property, providing light and landscape to make waking up a pleasure.
The design of the property allows for all spaces to feel light and airy, with fewer internal walls and masses of windows and sliding doors providing access to private or public terraces and balconies. It’s a very modern approach and makes for a house that feels bright and alive to live in, no matter how dark and glum the winter months can be.
Despite being on the edge of a city, this house has incredible proximity to popular countryside areas for walking, camping or cycling, including Graves Park and the Peak District. Sheffield train station is 4 miles away, where connections to Scotland, the south of England (Plymouth, Reading) and nearby northern hubs (Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Newcastle) are available. Manchester airport (40 miles away) is the most convenient place to fly from, considering the regular train connections to the airport from Sheffield.
