Westbourne Road is surely one of the locality's finest roads, running from the top of Brocco Bank as it joins Clarkehouse Road up the hill towards Glossop Road. The property is extremely convenient for access to the Sheffield Botanical Gardens which is an iconic part of Sheffield with a believed 5,000 species of plants set in approximately 19 acres of stunning grounds, providing an oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle of this otherwise thriving area. The property is also conveniently located for access to Broomhill's excellent amenities including a number of first class restaurants and public houses combined with superb shopping and regular transport links to and from Sheffield city centre. The property is situated within walking distance of all the excellent schools in the area including both private (Birkdale, Westbourne, Sheffield Girls High) and local authority including Broomhill primary and King Edward's. The main city hospitals, including the Royal Hallamshire, Jessop Wing, Weston Park, the Children's and the Charles Clifford dental hospital are all within walking distance, found just off the B6547 Glossop Road and Thornbury private hospital is accessed from Fulwood Road, a little further out of town. The proximity to Endcliffe Park and Bingham Park is also a major part of the desirability of this property, with picturesque walks leading along the Porterbrook out through the parks towards Porterclough and the beautiful surrounding countryside.

The long driveway leads past the main residence to a stone cobbled court yard, providing vehicular parking. A detached coach house with fabulous beam work to the ceiling provides garage parking and also has a covered inspection pit.

"I thought of the leafy district of Broomhill on the western heights of Sheffield, where gabled black stone houses rise above the ponticums and holly, and private cast-iron lamp-posts light the gravelled drives. Greek, Italian, Gothic, they stand in winding tree-shaded roads, these handsome mansions of the Victorian industrialists who made their pile from steel and cutlery in the crowded mills below. They lived in what is still the prettiest suburb in England." Extract from: John Betjeman CBE, English Poet Laureate.
