Outside - With access from the open plan living area and kitchen, a large south facing Yorkstone flagged terrace ideal for parties, barbecues and catching the sun and with beautiful aspect over the magnificent communal landscaped grounds with a large expanse of lawn and well stocked borders surrounding and adjoining the local park. A truly spectacular setting. To the other side of the property, two designated parking spaces, communal grounds and lovely aspect over Graves Park and nearby lake.

The development is approached down a private driveway with security coded entrance gates. General Remarks - The internal photographs are from when the property was previously fully furnished. Stepping inside the building requires a visitor to embrace the nature of its history. It is half of the colonnade, which was the walkway to the orangery, and therefore the style of architecture is dictated by this.

The presence of the immense Doric columns and the high ceiling take your breath away. They give a grand aspect to the living space, but the architect has also designed areas to develop a family space too. The windows and door arches are other spectacular features. Because it is a south facing building these large windows allow the sun to heat the rooms which stay beautifully warm through winter too. After all it did house many conservatory plants. On colder days the underfloor heating ensures the rooms are warm and cosy on all three floors.

The grounds and surrounding Graves Park keep traffic and town lights away and, although you are within a stones throw of the local amenities, it is easy to feel you are living in the countryside. Rare breed sheep and highland cattle are to be seen in the fields and there is also a lake side view from the windows. To the south the famous twisted spire of Chesterfield can be spotted across the well-kept lawns.

It's just so picturesque no matter what the season. Norton Hall lies within a secure gated community and this is beautifully maintained and managed by the Residents Committee. The management company, run by the owners, spends the service charge on insurance, security, and grounds maintenance among other things and this gives peace of mind and value for money for the residents.

This stylish apartment stands alone and it is indeed hard to make comparisons with other properties. It offers a living space which is ultimately different and residents truly feel that they are looking after the history and heritage of Sheffield. Directions - On entering the exclusive development through the security entrance gates take a turning down to the right onto a gravelled approached and park up on the right.
