This substantial end-of-terrace in Upperthorpe is being sold as a cash-only, full-renovation opportunity. The property combines ground-floor retail/front room with two reception rooms above, three bedrooms, two attic rooms and cellar storage across approximately 1,369 sq ft — offering scope for a mixed-use conversion or an HMO-style refurbishment aimed at local renters and students.
Key practical strengths include a long lease (approx. 670 years), south-facing position, front and rear garden areas, solid brick construction and good transport links to Sheffield city centre, universities and hospitals. The corner location and existing shopfront create clear commercial potential while internal space and high ceilings support flexible layouts and value-adding works.
Important negatives are clear: the house requires a full renovation and is sold for cash buyers only. The area has high local crime and very high deprivation indices which will affect lettability and resale value. The property likely has uninsulated solid walls, an unknown age of double glazing, and will need mechanical, heating, electrics and cosmetic renewal to meet modern standards.
For an investor prepared to manage refurbishment and let/convert sensitively, the combination of size, location and mixed-use potential can justify the work. Budget realistically for structural, services and security upgrades and allow time for planning if changing the use. Viewings are advised for buyers who can assess condition firsthand.
