- Long lease: c.177 years remaining

- Off-street parking available, first-come basis
- Service charge around £1,908 per year

- Area has higher crime rates and local deprivation
A compact, top-floor one-bedroom apartment offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation or rental. The living area is open-plan to a small fitted kitchen, with a split-level double bedroom and a shower room — an efficient layout that suits a single occupant or couple. Gas central heating and double glazing are fitted, and the long lease (177 years remaining) gives tenure security for buyers.
The location is the main draw: a short journey to Sheffield city centre, local shops, cafes and public transport links, plus easy access to Sheffield rail station and the parkway. Off-street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis — useful in an urban setting where on-street parking can be limited.
Be clear about the constraints: the apartment is small (about 363 sq ft) and service charges are relatively high at about £1,908 per year. The property sits in an area with higher crime and relative deprivation, which may affect future resale or tenant demand. The flat is best suited to first-time buyers looking for an affordable city-base or investors targeting steady rental income rather than capital-growth purchasers seeking a quiet suburb.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-entry option into Sheffield’s rental or owner-occupier market — convenient, economical on council tax, and with a long lease — but buyers should factor in the service charge, compact living space and local area characteristics when deciding to view.
