When the owners of this property, Natasha and Luke, were house hunting 10 years ago they knew Crookes was the right location for them. The high street had plenty of shops, cafes and pubs plus Broomhill was within walking distance and it was only a short drive to the Peak District which is where they loved exploring in their free time.

When they first viewed number 131, they fell in love with the character, it’s stone-built and has beautiful coving and picture rail in the lounge. The larger attic bedroom was a big attraction and also the South-facing rear garden.

The property required a little modernisation, since living there, they have rewired the whole house, all the windows and the front and back doors are new and the kitchen was also installed in 2021.

Coming into the property through the front door brings you into the lounge. This is a cosy room with plenty of space for seating and a chimney breast with exposed brick surround and timber mantel.

Across the stairs to the upper floors is the dining kitchen, the kitchen itself has beautiful Shaker-style units in an L shape with a bevelled tile splashback. There is an exposed brick chimney breast with more cupboards to the side. In terms of appliances, there is an integrated electric oven, gas hob and space for a tall fridge/freezer and washing machine.

On the first floor are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Bedroom one is at the front of the property, this is a good double with a cupboard under the stairs. Bedroom two is a large single bedroom that is also used as a home office looking over the rear garden. Next door is the bathroom, here there is a bath with a shower above, WC, washbasin and shelving in the chimney breast.

Bedroom three is on the second floor, this is a fantastic double bedroom with exposed timbers, brickwork and Velux windows at the front and back.

Externally, at the front of the property is a forecourt with a path to the front door. Access to the rear garden is from the kitchen and from the top of the run of terraces (from 137 Lydgate Lane). The south-facing rear garden has a lawn and in the far corner an area for seating and those summer BBQs.
