Affordable starter home near university and Kelham Island.
One double bedroom, open-plan living and fitted kitchen
This bright one-bedroom apartment on Scotland Street offers compact city living with immediate availability. The open-plan living/kitchen, small balcony and modern fittings create a comfortable, low-maintenance home a short walk from the university, Kelham Island and Sheffield station.
Practical details suit a first-time buyer: 231 years remaining on the lease and a modest ground rent of £150 pa. Lift access, secure intercom entry and double glazing add convenience and security, while the property’s 458 sq ft layout is efficient for single occupancy or couples.
Buyers should note the apartment is sold at auction and carries an annual service charge of about £1,315. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can increase running costs. The wider area is a cosmopolitan, student neighbourhood with higher-than-average crime levels—worth considering for long-term living comfort or letting choices.
Overall this is an affordable city-base with clear investment or starter-home potential. Viewings will show how the compact layout and contemporary fixtures suit everyday living; grant-funded or renovation opportunities are limited but straightforward if cosmetic updates are wanted.
