This property was pupose built in the early 90's for my aunt, in the grounds of the house where she was born, and so although the house is modern, fully double glazed, centrally heated etc, the gardens are very mature, dating from the 1920's. There are fruit trees with roses growing through them, wisteria and rhodedendrum to name a few. She was a very keen gardener and had a love of the rare and exotic, so there are some real gems in there. It's situated at the very end of a cul-de-sac and it's grounds occupy the whole width of the road so no neighbours oppostie. Down one side is the original house and the other side there are disused allotments which form a wilderness inhabited by badger and foxes.

The property has 3 good sized bedrooms, one of which is ensuite. The dining room would happily seat 10 to 12 people. The lounge is very spacious and has french doors leading out into the back south facing block paved patio and the fabulous garden I've described. There's a large garden shed tucked away out of site at the end of the garden, and a little pond that's been there since I was a child. There's also a delightful gazebo. There's a really big integral garage beneath the property with window, water and power and it has an electronic up and over door. The drive way is block paved and would hold 3 cars easily. It has a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom as well as a utility room. It's immaculate inside and out.

We are looking for offers in the region of £298,000 and there is no chain. My number is 07842 135888 or 0114 2312278

Hi
Your property sounds interesting. Could you give me the location please?

Hi Paul

I think I replied to you! but I'm new to this forum business so I'm not sure whether you got it or not. Anyway it's on Don avenue which is off Langsett Avenue, and it's going on the market before 1st June unless we get a buyer before then

Cheers

Jane

I've done some photos of the house and gardens, but can't figure out how to get them on the thread, will keep trying

All the photos were taken today but I forgot to reset the date on my camera so they're all stamped as 1st of Jan 2005.

The property is going on sale today with Saxton Mee at £289,950. They advised us to put it on at circa £310,000 to £315,000 however we only have a small % share in the estate so we are more interested in a quick sale than necessarily getting the maximum price, hence we've started it low.

If anyone is interested in cutting out the estate agent please do so and contact me direct, as they are already getting on my nerves!!

Cheers

Hi Jane

I am very interested in this house. I currently live on the next road, so know the area well. I recently saw that planning permission had been granted on this road in spite of the council receiving 10 letters arguing against it, can you tell me more about this and how it might affect this house?

Thanks

I really am pants with this forum thing! did you get the reply I sent you, as it's not on here?

Cheers
Jane

Hi Jane

I haven't had a message?

regards
Janet

Hi Janet

My partner tells me I replied to the forum rather than the thread by mistake! Oops

The message was that as far as I'm aware there was planning permission put n for some apartments 4 I think, but due to the residents objection it got turned down. I remember my aunt writing a letter of objection and that must be at least a year ago. In fairness had it gone ahead it wouldn't have effected this house at all as you'll know if you know the road, no further development could really impact on this place.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Jane
