NEW Blog about our Wonderful Endcliffe Park by our gorgeous Khloe #spencer #sheffield

 New Blog by our Gorgeous Khloe.....  

‘The Endcliffe neighbourhood is located on the south west side of Sheffield, home to the beautiful Endcliffe and Bingham parks and has an array of exciting places to eat, drink and shop. Endcliffe park opened its gates in 1887 in celebration of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee and is one of the hottest spots for family outings, parking it up with friends, it’s also a gateway to Sheffield’s Peak District National Park. If you fancy a drink or bite to eat, in the heart of the park is the iconic Endcliffe Park Cafe, open throughout the year and serves delicious, locally sourced food and Fairtrade teas and coffee. 

If you’re making your way from Endcliffe Park up to the Peaks, there’s plenty to see and do on the way, such as taking a well-deserved pitstop and the Forge Dam Cafe. Or, further along the trail to the Peaks, you could spend the day visiting the hugely popular Mayfield Alpacas Animal Park, who offer a range of fun and educational events such as Alpaca Treks, feeding Meerkats and other animal experiences (IG, @mayfield_alpacas_animal_park). 

Just a short walk from the park, you’ll find Hunters Bar, Ecclesall Road and Sharrow Vale on its doorstep. One of my favourite things to do on the weekend is to wander through the local area as there are so many unique and independent shops and places to discover. Anything you could want or need; you will be able to find here. One of my favourites (even just to window shop) is Pete McKee’s art gallery (IG, @petemckee), which sees visitors from all over the world. If you don’t know who Pete McKee is, you should get to know! Born and bred in Sheffield, Pete McKee is world renowned for his unique illustrations that embody Sheffield’s rich history and culture. 

In the evenings, there’s plentiful bars and restaurants to choose from; I’m still working my way to visit them all after living in the area for nearly five years! However, one place I find myself visiting again, and again… is The Lescar pub, located in Sharrow Vale (IG, @thelescar). The interior design is traditional with modern features, in the winter their open fire heats the entire pub which makes it the perfect cosy spot to meet up with friends and family. In the summer, there is a gorgeous courtyard area where you can enjoy your food and drinks in the glorious Sheffield sun. They also host weekly live music and comedy performances, which is a great opportunity to support and check out the local talent.

For these reasons to name a few…  the Endcliffe neighbourhood is one of the most sought-after areas to live in Sheffield. With its close proximity to both Universities, being in the catchment area for some of Sheffield’s best schools and City centre, it’s the idyllic location, whether you're a student, young professional, couple or family.’

Nether Edge and Abbeydale, #Sheffield - we talk about why this area is so great! #Spencer

 

We are back blogging! Sorry to have been missing for a while! 

It’s no secret that Spencer loves Sheffield but let us tell you about why we love Abbeydale & Nether Edge.

 

Abbeydale & Nether Edge offer something for everyone with super popular residential areas providing an enormous range of property, outstanding schools, shopping and a fabulous lifestyle to boot.

In this vibrant area of S7 there’s a whole host of pubs, bars, restaurants & takeaways to suit every palate. Particular favourites in our office are Bench, The Broadfield Pub, Two Thirds, Picture House Social and Forge Bakehouse to name but a few.

 

Of course there is also the Antiques Quarter to potter around and get lost in corners of, looking for a quirky piece of furniture or a trinket for your new home. If that isn’t your thing then there are plenty of charity shops, independent shops, artisan bakers, international supermarkets, health food shops and florists to keep you entertained.

As well as shops, you’re spoilt choice for green spaces to visit in the area. You can entertain the kids in Broadfield Park, Mount Pleasant Park or Chelsea Park or go for a stroll in Brincliffe Woods, which are part of the Round Sheffield Walk.

There are plenty of events in the area to take part in too! Nether Edge Neighbourhood Group is a well established friendly organisation that is responsible for the quarterly Farmers Market, the annual Nether Edge Festival, Open Gardens and much, much more.

When it comes to schools Nether Edge Primary, part of the Mercia Trust, is an outstanding primary school based on Abbeydale Road along with Mercia Academy further up the road in Bannerdale both of which are incredibly popular with families in the area.

 

If you’re looking for somewhere to live, the area has everything from apartments, terraced houses, Victorian villas to new build detached properties, something for every budget and every taste. What more could you want?!

Merry Christmas!

We are all a little pleased to see the back of 2020 but some lessons have been learned; appreciate what you’ve got, remember life is short, love those in your circle, appreciate your boss, inhale the time you get with loved ones, only teachers can teach our children properly, the NHS is our saviour, never underestimate how privileged we are if we are loved, have a roof over our head and have food to eat, travel is a luxury and appreciating where we live should not be taken for granted, hairdressers are a necessity, sport is more than just a game, it’s a way of life, in hot water we realise how strong we can be, it does take a village to raise children, our elderly should be protected and nurtured, life is precious, remember that everyone is trying their best.

Looking forward to a happy and healthy 2021!

Have fun in your Xmas Bubbles!

#Covid19Update Offices are CLOSED - All staff working safely from home #spencers #sheffield #wearespencer

Dear All,

Our offices are now CLOSED but staff are ALL still working from home. Our phone lines are still open diverted to all staff, we are conducting valuations via video phone, and all urgent repairs are being undertaken as safely as possible by contractors.

If you have an urgent issue please call us on 0114 2683682 during work hours or my personal mobile number is 07770 768896 if you want to call me, Nicola. We are all working on safe ways to continue key handovers for completions, check outs, check ins, and urgent maintenance. 

My own personal circumstances are that my mum has cancer, my dad has serious heart issues, I have five-year-old twins, and a 94 year old grandma with dementia, all who I am shopping for and trying to keep safe. I am sure you all have similar stories and you will want to keep your people safe, just as I am trying to keep mine safe too.

I would like to personally reassure all our tenants, clients, vendors, landlords, and buyers, as well as future clients, that our business will survive this and that I will do everything that I can to ensure that we are still here on the other side.

Thank you in the meantime for your patience and all of your wonderful messages of support of us at Spencer, we have great staff who are all doing their best for the business, each other, and for our clients, as well as for their families too. These are difficult times but I can promise a “no surrender” attitude to keeping everyone safe as well as to keeping staff and our business running as effectively as possible.

We will maintain our social responsibility throughout this time and will promise our best attention at all times.

Stay safe.

With love and best wishes

Nicola
