This one-bedroom apartment in City Point places you in the heart of Sheffield city centre — an efficient, contemporary home just moments from universities, shops and transport. The open-plan lounge/diner opens onto a small balcony, bringing daylight into the living space and extending usable space for city living. At 646 sq ft the layout feels generous for a one‑bed flat, with a notably large bedroom and modern bathroom.
The property suits first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors looking for central location and steady rental demand (near universities and Royal Hallamshire Hospital). Constructed post‑2007 with double glazing and wood‑effect flooring, the flat presents as a low‑maintenance, move‑in ready option. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is described as affordable.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the flat uses electric storage heaters (no gas central heating), it is leasehold (182 years remaining) and additional leasehold fees or pack costs may apply. The area is described as having a high crime rate relative to local averages, so prospective purchasers should consider security and insurance implications. There are no private gardens — this is urban, high‑density living.
A sensible next step is an independent survey and a full review of the lease documents, service charges and any building management rules. For the right buyer seeking central convenience, modern fittings and clear rental or commuter appeal, this property offers genuine value with straightforward, city‑centre living.
