This one here

It is in a really good area with a fab primary school - Beacon school - and a good secondary too, although may still go down the private school route for that age.

I love my apartment and city living, but the quality of service and the cost of the service charge is starting to get us down a bit. And we spent the weekend at friends and Mollie kept asking "Can I have a garden mummy" - so??? Would also like a third bedroom. Well, you never know

It is also round corner from a great street in Sheffield - Ecclesall Road - loads of great places to eat, some good shops,e tc. And near the Botanical gardens and a park. Mollie's nursery is just down round.

Inside looks quite modern so we can keep with the clean cut modern style we quite like.

But no parking I don't think - depends on what road is like for that.

Trouble is, everywhere we would like to live is so expensive. This doesn't look great from the outside I know but the interior seems okay - would know better tonight. And there isn't much about.

Have no idea how much the apartment is worth really either! DH has asked estate agents for a rough value - the estate agents deal with the sales, resales and lettings here too. Oh, and the house belongs to one of the valuers there!

Mmm, only even starting thinking about this idea last night

The valuer has an unfortunate name!

Looks lovely- the front room is a similar colour to our old house (looks very similar tbh) Our old house was done up- we now live in a mess!

It looks well kept- including the outside.

Hulababy · 02/08/2004 09:58

LOL; that is actaully the name of one of the other estate agents round here: Crapper & Haigh. Not sure I could even face using them

we looked at lots of houses on this road before buying ours in Crookes.

Parking is a problem just to let you know but there are great views over the city from the top of the road

we wanted to live in hunters bar but at the time house prices were just going silly on the market for £70k but selling for over £100!!! madness, has slowed down a bit now though but the area we did buy in is doing it now!! would love to move down the hill to hunters bar.

katzguk · 02/08/2004 10:40

house2

getting excited for you now

Hulababy · 02/08/2004 10:48

I do like this apartment too . 3 bed and a biggish terrace - but obviously not a garden. Does have the communal gardens. Has the extra room though as all rooms are even bigger than we have here. And can walk to town. BUt would have to still go down the prep school route as same catchement primary school as we have now.
