3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Dial House, Ben Lane, Wadsley, Sheffield S6

** freehold ** Dial House is one of Sheffield’s most distinctive and historic homes - a remarkable Grade II listed stone residence dating back to 1802, rich in character, local heritage and timeless architectural charm. Set proudly behind handsome stone walls on historic Ben Lane, the property takes its name from the original sundial mounted above the entrance, bearing the inscription:

“Of shade & sunshine for each hour,
See here a measure made,
Then wonder not if life consists,
Of sunshine and of shade.”

Originally built as a substantial country residence on the rural edge of Wadsley, Dial House later became the renowned Dial House Working Men’s Club - a celebrated Sheffield landmark that welcomed generations of local families and famous performers including Joe Cocker, Tony Christie, Marti Caine and Def Leppard.

Today, the house has been beautifully reimagined as an exceptional private home, combining elegant period features, extraordinary room proportions and high ceilings with a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. From its striking façade and rich history to its spacious reception rooms and unique sense of character, Dial House offers a rare opportunity to own a truly memorable piece of Sheffield history.
