2 Parkhead Hall is a Marvel, a Piece of Living History for a Connoisseur

3 Parkhead Hall Parkhead Hall Welcome to Parkhead Hall The house was designed by John Mitchell-Withers in 1864/65 and was originally named The Woodlands. It was a house of fine proportions, the first floor approached by an imposing staircase with an oak and iron balustrade. The dining room was reputed to have been panelled with 16th Century oak taken from the long gallery of the old Manor House in Sheffield. A unique opportunity has arisen to acquire this outstanding country residence transformed by the current owners to what is unquestionably one of the finest properties in the region. A once in a lifetime opportunity has arisen to acquire this exquisite Grade II listed Hall. A house of fine proportions and located in a most sought-after of residential locations and within easy access to the Peak District National Park and Sheffield s city centre. Situated in fabulous gardens and grounds of approximately three acres with a further acre available by separate negotiation. Parkhead Hall is located in one of Sheffield s most desirable suburbs with good local amenities and falling within the catchment area for excellent local schools. This beautifully appointed Gentleman s Residence has a wealth of period features and celebrates magnificent historical architecture whilst offering extensive luxury living over 3 floors. The property briefly comprises on the ground floor: Entrance vestibule, grand entrance hall, drawing room, kitchen, inner hallway, dining room, ballroom, study, library, snug, laundry room, cloakroom/wc, games room, rear kitchen, utility room, plant room and walkway. Christian comprising of: cupboards, open shelving, glazed display cabinets and desk with leather top. There s a cast iron fire grate with stone hearth and carved timber surround, front facing timber double glazed stone mullioned windows, coving, ceiling mouldings, wall light points and door leading to the: There were kitchen gardens and orchards, stables and loose-boxes, a carriage house, harness room and all the other essential requirements of a Victorian gentlemen s residence. Set in parkland, the house was approached from Ecclesall Road South and another drive led down to the stables and out into Abbey Lane. The grounds were landscaped with a great many trees. A cook, parlour maid, nurse and housemaid were employed to see to the running of the house. A gardener and coachman looked after the garden and stables. John moved into The Woodlands in He was only 28 years old at the time. By 1871 he and Lise, his wife, had three children. John, the eldest, was to follow in his father s footsteps and become a respected architect. Sadly John Mitchell-Withers Senior was to die at an early age and in June 1898, the house was sold to Robert Hadfield, the managing director of Hadfields with vast works in Attercliffe and Tinsley. He embarked on substantial alterations, adding a two-storey block comprising billiard room, library, two further bedrooms and a bathroom. The Woodlands too acquired a new name, Parkhead House. Robert Hadfield was a J.P. He became Master of Cutler s Company in Hallamshire in 1899 and he was a Freeman of the City of London. In 1908 he was knighted. Parkhead House remained one of the family homes for forty years. For some time Sheffield Corporation had been looking for a house, which could be used for judges lodgings when the Assize Courts opened in Sheffield. When Parkhead House was put on the market in November 1938 it seemed ideal for this purpose. It was duly purchased in 1939 for a staggering 6,750 but probably as a result of the Second World War these plans were shelved and in 1948 it was adopted and opened as a house for thirty-five elderly men. Over the years the grounds surrounding the house became reduced as parcels of land were sold for building. At some stage the 16th Century oak from Sheffield Manor was removed, the fine fireplaces were blocked up, but glimpses of its past grandeur remained. In 1988 Parkhead House became surplus to requirements. The elderly gentlemen moved out and it was put up for auction. With over four acres of land and situated in a prime position, it was a very desirable piece of real estate and it was sold in June 1989 and transformed into corporate offices. In 2003 the current owners (only the third family to live there) bought the hall and turned it back into a family residence. Shirley Frost Whirlow The Story of an ancient Sheffield hamlet.
