This vacant freehold parcel on Catherine Road offers a clear developer opportunity within Burngreave, approximately 1.5 miles from Sheffield city centre. The site is sizable at circa 2,600 sq m (0.64 acres) with an indicative capacity for around 13 apartments (subject to planning). It benefits from vacant possession, roadside frontage, and far-reaching city views from the higher ground.
The location is well connected by public transport, with direct routes to the city centre and Northern General Hospital under 20 minutes. Local amenities including convenience stores and a Tesco Extra are within easy walking distance, and nearby schools such as Byron Wood Primary Academy increase local housing demand. Mobile signal is excellent on site.
Important constraints are factual and should be considered by buyers: the site sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime rates and slow fixed-line broadband speeds. Any proposal will require planning consent and confirmation of utilities and services; the vendor provides no guarantee about boundaries, title specifics or existing site constraints. The sloping roadside plot and surrounding urban context will influence design and servicing costs.
This opportunity suits small-scale residential developers or investors who can manage a planning-led delivery. The combination of size, freehold ownership and proximity to transport and amenities gives scope for a compact apartment scheme, but viability will depend on detailed site, planning and neighbourhood due-diligence.
