Located just outside Sheffield city centre, this two-bedroom second-floor apartment offers straightforward, low-maintenance urban living with an allocated underground parking space and private balcony. The layout includes a generous lounge, fitted kitchen, master bedroom with ensuite, second bedroom and main bathroom across about 743 sq ft — a practical size for lettings or first-home ownership.
The property is offered via auction with a reduced guide price of £90,000 and a long lease (circa 250 years). It presents clear buy-to-let potential: local demand from students and city workers and estimated rental income of around £800–£850 PCM. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern tenants and remote working.
Buyers should note material considerations: heating is electric with room heaters rather than gas central heating, service charge and water charge apply (current service charge £700.46; water charge £185.22 for the quarter), and ground rent is £100. The building has double glazing, lift access and communal grounds, but the neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan student area with higher crime levels and wider area deprivation, which will affect tenant profile and resale perception.
This is best suited to investors seeking an affordable, ready-to-let city apartment or first-time buyers wanting a compact, well-connected base with underground parking. The auction route brings potential for value but also additional purchase costs — buyers must check the legal pack and allow for the auction contract fee and any seller charges.
