History Situated just off Barber Road and practically hidden down an old, cobbled lane is the charming cottage called Barber Nook House. The Cottage dates back to the early Georgian period built around 1728 and is believed to be the original farmhouse on Crookesmoor. The property remained in the Barber family until the 1930s and gave its name to several roads in the area. Exceptionally well placed for the Hospitals, Universities and shopping areas of Broomhill, Crookes and City Centre. The cottage has the additional attraction of a large Coach House ideal for garaging, storage or possible development subject to planning. 

Directions From the university square roundabout proceed along Bolsover Street which becomes Winter Street and then Crookes Valley Road before Barber Road. The turning to Barber Street is on the right.
