Sherwood – An Exceptional Edwardian Home with One of The Heatons’ Finest Gardens

Welcome to Sherwood, a distinguished Edwardian residence set within one of the most sought-after locations in The Heatons. This is a home that transcends the ordinary, combining timeless architectural elegance with an extraordinary outdoor space—offering over 310 feet of beautifully maintained gardens that are widely regarded as among the very best in the area.

Positioned on an outstanding plot, the house itself retains much of its original character, with exquisite Art Nouveau detailing and generously proportioned rooms throughout. The sense of space is apparent from the moment you step inside the entrance vestibule, leading into a striking 26-foot reception hallway. Here, the original turning staircase, rich woodwork, and high ceilings set the tone for what’s to come.
To the front, a bay-windowed living room features a multi-fuel fire set within the chimney breast, offering warmth and style in equal measure. The rear lounge adds a more relaxed feel with an additional multi-fuel fire, while a separate dining room allows for both formal dining and everyday comfort. The kitchen has been tastefully presented with modern units and complementary work surfaces, balancing style and functionality with ease. From the main hallway, stairs descend to a lower ground floor with several versatile chambers—ideal for storage, hobbies, or future development.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing is lit beautifully by a stained glass window, adding colour and light to the space. Original doors lead to three well-sized double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate W.C. A further staircase continues to the second floor, where you’ll find two additional bedrooms, a second bathroom, and a useful inset eaves area perfect for storage.

Outside, Sherwood continues to impress. The front garden is both mature and formal, with a driveway providing ample off-road parking. Wooden double gates open to a side carport, offering practical sheltered space. To the rear lies the jewel in Sherwood’s crown: A vast, private garden that has been lovingly maintained and curated over the years. At more than 310 feet in length, it’s not only generous in size but also in character. Featured in the prestigious ‘Heatons Open Gardens’ event, the garden is a tranquil retreat filled with lush lawns, colourful herbaceous borders, productive vegetable plots, and even a large chicken enclosure—offering a unique lifestyle opportunity for those with green fingers or simply a love of nature.

Zoned for both the highly regarded Tithe Barn Primary School and Priestnall High School, Sherwood also benefits from excellent access to local amenities, green spaces, and convenient transport links—making it perfectly positioned for family life.

Sherwood is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Edwardian heritage enhanced by one of the finest gardens in the area. Ideal for families, garden enthusiasts, or those seeking a grand yet comfortable residence, this remarkable home offers the perfect blend of period charm and modern living.
