Vendors comments 'We have lived here very happily for nearly twenty years. The house is wonderful and has given us a great family home, a very special base for my wife's consultancy work, and plenty of space left over for visitors. Linden Avenue is a lovely street with lots of friendly neighbours, a Ladies of Linden Book Club, near good shops, but with great walks on the doorstep, and only ten minutes from the surrounding spectacular countryside. But what we will miss most is the view - there is nothing to beat sitting on the balcony with a drink watching the sun go down (or watching the rain sweeping across from the moors from the comfort of our own dining room.)' Description The Grade II listed Preen House on Linden Avenue boasts an impressive façade which once fronted Preen Manor, Shropshire, built by the renowned architect Norman Shaw. After the demolition in 1921 a Sheffield engineer, Albert Davidson, saved parts and incorporated them into this house design. Preen House is situated on the left hand side of the development, with Wenlock being the other property, and anyone with a knowledge of Sheffield architecture will appreciate this property's numerous attractive facets. An internal inspection is essential to appreciate the size of the rooms and layout of the rooms. The property is approached via gated access leading through the front garden, with a stone "bridge" providing access the attractive dressed stone surround to the arched doorway. The welcoming reception hall features classic Arts and Crafts parquet flooring and painted timber panelling. There is also a stained glass window and an attractive staircase rising to the upstairs bedrooms. Just off the hallway there is a storage cupboard housing the system boiler which provides heat to upper part of the property, and there is a wc featuring a modern suite. To the side of the hallway

the fantastic drawing room certainly provides the "wow" factor with a large front facing original window and white marble fireplace catching the eye and being complemented by stripped and stained floorboards. The rear elevation includes a smart breakfasting kitchen which enjoys stunning views and is fitted with oak effect base and wall units and granite effect worktops. The breakfast area is well placed to enjoy the very pleasant rear aspect. Beyond the kitchen the dining room is a particularly lovely room with painted panelling, beamed ceiling and decorative fireplace, and is another place to enjoy the fabulous views towards the distant horizon. Part of the appeal of Preen House is the versatile accommodation over four floors. The top floor accommodation includes a landing with storage room and airing cupboard, which serves three large double bedrooms and a shower room with wc. Two of the bedrooms enjoy the far reaching views from dormer windows and the master bedroom situated to the front is a very large double with white marble fireplace and two sets of fitted wardrobes. The lower level beneath the entrance hall has independent access to the side of the property, and also the balcony which runs across both of these historic properties, and due to its independent access has previously been used as an annexe. The current layout of this floor includes two rear facing rooms one of which is currently used as an office, and the other as a bedroom/study, but which could be used in a number of different ways. There is also an additional and spacious kitchen where you can find the combination boiler which powers the lower floors of the house, a range oven and a pantry. There is also a side lobby with external access, and an inner hallway has plumbing for the usual utility appliances and a modern and luxurious bathroom featuring a black and white tiled décor framing the modern suite and separate large shower enclosure. From the inner hall stairs descend past a storage cellar to a large reception room which is currently used as a home cinema, and a separate gymnasium with timber door opening to the lower level of the plot where you can find the pretty open plan lawned garden which features a cobbled terrace set beneath the balcony and gated vehicular access past the adjacent properties, with provision for off road parking.
