- Established planning use F1 / F2(b) (halls/meeting places)

An expansive mid-20th-century detached building on a substantial 0.407-acre site, formerly used as a community centre and offering clear scope for redevelopment or alternative commercial/community uses (established use class F1 / F2(b)). The brick construction and large hall with a nearly 5m eaves give genuine flexible space for events, leisure, studios, or conversion schemes subject to planning. The site includes external landscaped areas and direct pedestrian linkage to City Road, a busy arterial route to Sheffield city centre (approx. 2.1 miles).
This freehold opportunity suits developers, community investors or operators seeking a large footprint close to transport links. Practical positives include fast broadband availability, on-site parking potential and a substantial internal gross area (approx. 3,741 sq ft). The building’s mixed roof types and internal layout—entrance hall, office, kitchen/canteen, computer training room, main hall with stage, WCs and first-floor plant—provide a useful base for adaptive reuse without starting from scratch.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate and will require repair and modernisation throughout (dated interiors, worn finishes, mid-century low-ceiling rooms). An electricity sub-station at the site corner is in separate ownership, and a public footpath runs alongside the plot. Interested parties must make their own enquiries with Sheffield City Council regarding alternative uses or redevelopment (STP).
Overall, the asset represents a low-entry freehold in a well-connected but challenged neighbourhood. It offers scale and redevelopment potential for an investor prepared to fund refurbishment, repositioning or a sensitive redevelopment that responds to local needs and planning constraints.
