Summary - 5 OLIVET ROAD, SHEFFIELD S8 8QR
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Modern, low-maintenance two-bedroom close to shops and transport links.
Ground-floor, step-free access ideal for downsizers
This modern ground-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in the popular Woodseats area, offering step-free access and an allocated off-street parking space. At about 696 sq ft, the layout provides two well-proportioned bedrooms, a bright living room with sliding doors and a contemporary kitchen and bathroom — move-in ready for downsizers or buyers seeking low-maintenance living.
Constructed in the mid-2000s, the building benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Residents have access to a well-maintained communal garden and a very low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local amenities are strong: shops, cafés, supermarkets and several Good-rated primary and secondary schools are all nearby, and central Sheffield is roughly ten minutes away by public transport.
Practical costs and tenure details are straightforward but important: the apartment is leasehold with 176 years remaining and an average service charge of £1,548 per year. Council tax is very low. These running costs should be considered alongside the purchase price when assessing affordability.
Overall this apartment suits someone looking to downsize without sacrificing location or connectivity, or an investor seeking a modern, low-maintenance flat in a very affluent, well-served part of Sheffield. The accommodation is tidy and ready to occupy, with sensible scope for light personalisation rather than major refurbishment.
