Spacious Sheffield group home with fireplace, piano and garden

Sandford Grove is a handsome, stone-fronted Victorian townhouse set in the leafy and sought-after neighbourhood of Nether Edge, Sheffield, offering generous, character-filled accommodation for groups of up to 11 guests across 6 well-appointed bedrooms. Spread across 3 floors, the property brings together original period features and thoughtfully furnished living spaces — a combination that makes it an outstanding base whether you are visiting for a city break, a group reunion, a walking weekend in the Peak District, or a longer stay exploring everything South Yorkshire has to offer.

What sets Sandford Grove apart is the rare balance it strikes between authentic character and practical group comfort. An indoor wood-burning stove, a piano in the lounge, exposed stone walls, and a striking array of decorative features give the house a warmth and individuality that is genuinely difficult to find in a holiday let of this size. At the same time, it has been equipped to a high standard with everything a large group needs, from a professional-grade kitchen to multiple relaxed sitting areas, a dedicated workspace, a private garden with BBQ, and a full utility area for longer stays. Pets are welcome too, making this a natural choice for those who would rather bring their companions along.

A Home to Relax and Unwind

From the moment you step through the blue front door of this stone-fronted Victorian townhouse, the character of the house makes an immediate impression. The front lounge is the natural heart of the home — a generous, warm space anchored by a wood-burning stove with a television mounted above, two substantial dark leather sofas arranged around a solid wooden coffee table, and a piano that adds a genuinely distinctive touch rarely found in a holiday let. Whether guests are gathered for a film night with Netflix or a spontaneous evening around the fire, this room has the kind of sociable atmosphere that brings groups together effortlessly.

For those who prefer something a little quieter, the conservatory-style sitting room to the rear provides a lighter, more relaxed retreat, furnished with rattan seating and a coffee table and benefiting from an additional fridge-freezer — ideal for keeping drinks stocked or managing group supplies without crowding the main kitchen. Elsewhere in the house, a dedicated workspace nook complete with a wooden desk, chair, floating shelves, and a small freestanding wood-burning stove offers a tucked-away spot for anyone needing to catch up on work between days out.

The property also features a number of characterful decorative touches throughout, including a large carved wooden mask displayed on a white wall and a decorative workbench with old metal bench vices set against an exposed stone wall — details that give Sandford Grove a personality all of its own.

When the weather is kind, the paved rear garden becomes the gathering point of choice. Built-in seating, outdoor furniture, and a BBQ grill make it an excellent setting for evening meals and relaxed group socialising in the warmer months.


The Layout

Sandford Grove occupies three well-proportioned floors and has been thoughtfully configured for large group stays, with living spaces and bedrooms distributed across the house in a way that works naturally for eleven guests.

The ground floor houses the main communal areas. The front lounge with its wood-burning stove and piano opens into the rest of the home, while the kitchen and dining area is set up to a genuinely high standard for group cooking. At its centre is a Rangemaster double oven with a five-ring hob and extractor hood, surrounded by fitted pine cabinets, a tiled splashback, and a full complement of cooking equipment including a refrigerator, separate freezer, toaster, hot water kettle, dishes, silverware, cooking basics, and wine glasses. Underfloor heating adds comfort underfoot, and a wooden dining table with carved chairs set on a terracotta tiled floor provides a convivial setting for the group to eat together. Kitchen consumables including tea and coffee are also provided. The conservatory-style sitting room and its additional fridge-freezer are also located on this floor, along with a dedicated utility area housing a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron and ironing board, and a drying rack — particularly practical for longer stays or guests travelling with pets.

The bedrooms are spread across the upper floors and the attic, offering a varied and comfortable mix of sleeping arrangements.
• Bedroom 1: Double bed, pine headboard, pine bedside tables
• Bedroom 2: King-size bed
• Bedroom 3: Twin room — two single beds with white duvets and terracotta runners
• Bedroom 4: Single bed
• Bedroom 5: Double bed, dark green duvet, teal cushions, pine bedside table
• Bedroom 6: Twin room — two single beds, located in the attic with a Velux skylight, secondary window, and exposed timber beam, giving it a characterful, tucked-away feel

Storage throughout the property is generous, with large traditional pine wardrobes providing ample hanging and drawer space across multiple bedrooms.

The property has two bathrooms and a separate standalone WC. The main bathroom is a particularly well-presented space, featuring a full-size bath set in a green-painted panel surround, framed by travertine-style wall and floor tiling, alongside a glass-screened walk-in shower enclosure, a green-painted vanity unit with a white rectangular basin, a wooden-framed mirror, open oak floating shelves, and a WC. The second bathroom has a shower and WC. The standalone WC provides additional convenience for a group of this size.


Location

Nether Edge is one of Sheffield`s most sought-after residential neighbourhoods — leafy, full of independent spirit, and with a village-like quality that sits in pleasant contrast to its excellent connections into the wider city. Sandford Grove Road places guests at the heart of it, within easy reach of everything the area and the city have to offer.

Abbeydale Road, approximately eight minutes on foot, is lined with independent cafés, restaurants, takeaways, and convenience shops, making it easy to pick up a morning coffee, grab an evening meal, or find everything needed for a relaxed day in. Several major supermarkets including Aldi, Lidl, and Tesco are also within easy reach for groups stocking up on arrival. For a livelier evening, Ecclesall Road — one of Sheffield`s best-loved dining and bar destinations, with a wide selection of restaurants, wine bars, and pubs — is approximately fifteen minutes on foot or five minutes by car. Sheffield city centre, with the iconic Crucible Theatre, the Sheffield Winter Garden, Kelham Island, and a thriving independent food and drink scene, is just ten minutes away by car or bus.

For those drawn to the outdoors, the property sits on the doorstep of the Peak District National Park. The gritstone edges of Stanage and Millstone — popular with walkers, climbers, and photographers — are reachable in approximately fifteen to twenty minutes by car. The Hope Valley and Chatsworth House are both comfortably accessible as half-day trips.

Getting around is straightforward whether by car or public transport. Several bus services on Abbeydale Road, including the 75 and 86, run direct connections into Sheffield city centre every fifteen to twenty minutes. Sheffield railway station is approximately ten minutes by car or twelve minutes by bus. Free on-street parking is available directly outside the property with no permit required, making it particularly convenient for guests arriving by car or heading out to the Peak District.
