Stunning Whirlow farmhouse with south-facing gardens and huge living space for £1.2m

A beautifully renovated five-bedroom farmhouse in one of Sheffield's most prestigious suburbs has come onto the market with a guide price of £1.2 million.

Set in the sought-after Whirlow area, Whirlow Croft Farm combines period character with modern family living, offering more than 2,850 sq ft of accommodation, immaculate gardens and easy access to both the Peak District and Sheffield city centre.

One of the standout features is the impressive open-plan kitchen dining space which forms the heart of the home.

The contemporary kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and flows seamlessly into the dining area and bright orangery, which benefits from underfloor heating.

The property also boasts two generous reception rooms, both overlooking the private south-facing gardens.

Newly decorated in neutral tones, the farmhouse has undergone extensive upgrades by the current owners, including new heritage-style double-glazed windows, a full electrical rewire, a new Vaillant boiler and upgraded heating and security systems.

Elsewhere on the ground floor are a study area with garden views, a utility room, downstairs WC and a wine cellar.

Upstairs, the home offers five double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom features built-in storage, a dressing area and an en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a separate shower room and a traditional Heritage-style family bathroom.

Outside, the landscaped gardens have been carefully planted to provide colour throughout the seasons, while a water feature adds to the peaceful atmosphere.

The gardens offer a high degree of privacy and create a tranquil setting rarely found so close to the city.

A driveway and integral garage provide ample parking, making the property well suited to family life.

Whirlow remains one of Sheffield's most desirable residential locations, sitting on the edge of both the city and the Peak District National Park.

Residents can enjoy walks through nearby Ecclesall Woods and open countryside, while highly regarded schools including Silverdale School, Dobcroft Junior School and Dobcroft Infant School are all nearby.

Despite its rural feel, Sheffield city centre can be reached in around 10 minutes by car, while Dore & Totley railway station is approximately 1.2 miles away, providing connections across the region.
