A compact one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Sheffield City Centre, offered with no onward chain and long lease (141 years remaining). At about 411 sq ft, the layout is efficient and suited to a single buyer, couple, or investor seeking a city-centre let close to transport links and local amenities.
The building is Victorian with characterful brickwork and tall ceilings on the exterior; the flat’s interior presents contemporary, neutral decor and standard ceiling heights. Main heating is electric via a boiler and radiators; electricity is the primary fuel. Council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the apartment is small (studio-style layout), broadband speeds are very slow, and the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime levels. There is an average annual service charge of about £1,202. These factors affect suitability for some buyers and should be weighed against the low purchase price and central location.
This property suits a first-time buyer wanting an affordable city-base or an investor targeting central letting to students or young professionals. The long lease and no chain make the purchase process straightforward, but expect to manage tenancy demand, connectivity limitations and potential security considerations locally.
