SELLER INSIGHT

Woodfield is a large and beautifully presented eight-bedroom property that boasts a huge garden, and which occupies a sought-after location just half an hour from Sheffield city centre. “This has been our family home for the past twenty-five years so it’s been a big part of all of our lives and holds so many really happy memories,” says William. “My mum always says th at as well as the size and sheer beauty of the house itself, it was the location that for her was one of the biggest selling points. The property sits on one of the most desirable roads in the area, which is peppered with lovely homes, many of which – including ours – have exceptionally large gardens. It’s also close enough to town for it to be very convenient, yet at the same time just far enough away for the immediate surroundings to feel leafy and green and also very peaceful. It’s the best of both, which is one of the reasons we’ve stayed here so long.”

“We think the house was probably built in the late 19th century, and it’s a really lovely-looking building and also very solid – they don’t build them like this anymore. Over time mum has had the kitchen updated and she’s kept it all in really good decorative order, but there’s been no major structural work, as it just hasn’t needed it. The rooms are all nicely proportioned, and the main reception rooms all radiate from the huge central hall so the layout flows really well. It ’s also very bright and spacious, but at the same time it has a very homely feel. In my opinion it’s the perfect family home.”

“I’d say that the dining room and the ‘best room’, as mum likes to call it, are the two standout rooms in the house. They’re both quite grand, with some lovely period features, and they both enjoy really stunning views of the garden.”

“The location of the house is absolutely superb. Head out in one direction and you have access to mile upon mile of open countryside, and in the other there’s a fantastic array of shops and amenities. There are also some really good schools in the local area and the transport links are excellent. For instance, from nearby Retford station it only takes an hour and fifty minutes to travel into central London.”

“The house sits on an enormous plot of land and we’ve actually gained planning permission to build a four-bedroom house on the large section of garden to the side of the property. It’s also large enough for a swimming pool, an outhouse… the possibilities are endless.”

“This has been an amazing family home and we all have a huge emotional connection to it,” says William. “We’ll be so sad to let it go, but it’s tim e for a new family to fill it and enjoy it, just as we have.”*
