Set on School Road in Crookes, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers straightforward rental potential and commuter convenience close to the University of Sheffield. The layout includes a bright living room, separate fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a modern shower room. Recent upgrades include a new combi boiler and shower enclosure; the home benefits from triple glazing and an allocated off-street parking space.
The property is currently tenanted on a statutory periodic tenancy achieving £825 pcm, making it immediately income-producing for a buy-to-let investor. Service charge (£1,699.20pa) and a small ground rent (£50pa) apply; the lease has around 96 years remaining. Chain-free sale and gas central heating add to the ease of purchase.
This apartment sits within a mixed, cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with excellent bus links to the city centre, hospitals and universities. That location drives consistent rental demand but also brings higher local crime and typical student area activity — factors to weigh if owner-occupying.
Overall the flat is compact and economical to run, presenting a low-maintenance investment or an entry-level purchase for buyers who prioritise location and rental return over generous living space. The service charge and leasehold nature are material considerations for longer-term owner-occupiers.
