5 bed semi-detached house for sale

The Old Post Office, Furnace Lane S13

A truly individual five bedroom semi-detached home offering an exceptional amount of space and versatility, together with garaging, workshops and outbuildings to the rear. Formerly the local Post Office and held within the same family since the 1970s, the property has evolved over the years to create a substantial home with an unusual and highly flexible layout.

The ground floor provides a generous collection of living spaces. A substantial living room sits alongside a separate dining room, study and snug, providing plenty of options for family life, entertaining and working from home. The kitchen is positioned towards the rear of the property, with an adjoining utility room and ground floor W.C.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to offer an impressive amount of flexibility, with five bedrooms alongside an additional study/sitting room. Four of the bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, while the substantial principal bedroom (currently used as an additional living room) forms part of a later two-storey extension and benefits from its own en-suite shower room.

The property offers plenty of scope for a new owner to update and personalise the interiors to their own tastes, while its scale and unconventional layout provide considerable flexibility to adapt the accommodation to suit individual needs. The arrangement could work particularly well for multi-generational living.

Outside, the rear of the property is arranged around a substantial yard rather than a traditional garden, providing off-road parking and access to an extensive range of garaging, workshops and outbuildings. Offering a significant amount of additional space, including a large garage loft, this is a particularly useful setup for anyone requiring extensive storage, space for vehicles, a workshop or room for hobbies and projects.

Furnace Lane is well placed for the amenities of Handsworth and Woodhouse, with local shops, schools and everyday facilities within easy reach. Sheffield Parkway and the M1 are also readily accessible, providing convenient connections into Sheffield city centre and across the wider region.

With five bedrooms, multiple reception spaces and an unusually substantial range of garages and outbuildings, this is far from a conventional family home. Its scale, flexibility and potential make it an exciting opportunity for buyers looking for a property they can adapt to suit the way they want to live.

Redbrik securemovetm - important please read:
Redbrik is marketing this property with the benefit of Redbrik SecureMoveTM. Redbrik has introduced SecureMoveTM to help speed up the sales process, minimise sale fall-throughs and give more certainty to both the Seller and the Buyer. Purchasers will benefit from the Buyer Information Pack (bip), which we have created with our legal partners, to give buyers more information before they agree to purchase.

The pack includes:
TA6 (Property Information Form)
TA10 (Fittings and Contents)
Official Copy of the Register
Title Plan
Local Search*
Water and Drainage Search*
Coal and Mining Search*
Environmental Search*

(Redbrik has ordered the local, drainage, coal and environmental searches; we will add these to the bip as they become available)

Redbrik SecureMoveTM allows the sale process to be completed significantly quicker than a ‘normal sale’. This is because the legal work, usually done in the first four to eight weeks after the sale is agreed, has already been completed. The searches, which can take up to five weeks, are ordered on the day the listing goes live and are transferable to the successful Buyer as part of their legal due diligence.

Additionally, and on behalf of the Seller, Redbrik requires the successful Buyer to enter into a Reservation Agreement and pay the Reservation Agreement Fee of £595 (including VAT). This includes payment for the Buyer Information Pack and all the searches (which a buyer typically purchases separately after the sale is agreed).

Upon receipt of the signed Reservation Agreement, payment of the Reservation Agreement Fee, completion of id and aml checks and the issuing of the Memorandum of Sale, the Seller will agree to take the Property off the market and market it as Sold Subject To Contract (sstc).
