A Rare Estate-Scale Opportunity at Auction

Hurlfield House, Hurlfield Road, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S12 2SL

Guide Price: £400,000

Set discreetly behind electric gates and approached via a private road, Hurlfield House is a substantial detached residence offering space, privacy, and long-term potential in one of Sheffield’s most accessible locations.

Occupying a generous plot of approximately one acre, the property extends to circa 2,500 square feet and is offered with vacant possession, presenting an immediate opportunity for owner-occupiers, developers, or investors alike. The scale of the grounds, combined with the existing footprint, allows for a variety of future possibilities, subject to all necessary consents, whether that be enhancement of the current dwelling or alternative development potential.

A Substantial Footprint with Development Potential

Internally, the accommodation is arranged predominantly on the ground floor and is notably versatile. The property currently boasts an entrance hall, kitchen, four reception rooms, WC, four bedrooms, and a bathroom – a layout that lends itself well to reconfiguration or modernisation, depending on the buyer’s vision. Large rooms and multiple reception spaces give the house a sense of flexibility that is increasingly rare, particularly on a plot of this size.

Externally, the grounds are a defining feature. The sweeping driveway and surrounding gardens create a private, almost estate-like setting, offering a sense of seclusion while remaining firmly connected to the city. The scale of the plot is exceptional for this location and underpins the property’s future potential.
