5 bed detached house for sale

Higher Stubbin, Rotherham S62

Beautifully located in established, landscaped grounds spanning approximately 1.3 acres, Prospect Cottage is a wonderful five bedroomed detached residence, brimming with an abundance of charm that is truly timeless.

This beautiful property can be traced back to the 1700s, where it was previously a Quaker Cottage. Additions in the 1900s expanded the accommodation offered by the home, and within the last 30 years, has benefitted from sympathetic alterations by the current owners, particularly to its grounds.

Prospect Cottage is arranged generously over two floors, boasting outstanding living spaces that are well-suited to accommodate a family. Welcoming you into the home through double doors is the impressive entrance hall, which connects the primary reception rooms and features a mezzanine above. A characterful lounge presents a homely setting alongside the exposed brick fireplace, whilst the sitting room extends a laid-back environment for every day enjoyment. This fabulous home has plenty of room for hosting family and guests, with its splendid formal dining room that is adorned by heavy timber beams and a coal effect gas fire set within a brick fireplace. The heart of the home is the traditional kitchen with country-style cabinetry, a Rangemaster range cooker and an adjacent breakfast kitchen offering a separate, less formal space for dining.

The first floor is home to a luxurious master bedroom suite, showcasing a well-proportioned bedroom, a useful walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room with a modern twist and under floor heating. There is another spacious double bedroom suite, as well as three further bedrooms, all of which are of a good-size. A well-appointed, fully tiled family bathroom is bathed in natural light through a large roof window and is equipped with a Villeroy & Boch suite.

Two gated entrances provide access to the home, one of which opens to a sweeping driveway with a turning circle, that leads up to the front of the property and to an outbuilding comprising a car port and garage. Additional parking is available by the roadside on a slip road that is owned by Prospect Cottage. Beside the driveway is a pleasant stone flagged seating terrace that flows seamlessly into the expansive gardens located to the East of the plot. The formal garden is a tranquil oasis that is filled with an array of established planting and a large Koi Carp fish pond featuring an illuminated jetty. To the rear of the home is a courtyard garden, ideal for keen gardeners, with its greenhouse and two useful garden stores.
