This stone-fronted mid-terrace in Crookesmoor offers practical living across three bedrooms and about 1,012 sq ft. The ground floor has a lounge with a feature fireplace and gas stove, and a well-proportioned kitchen diner with cellar storage. Front and rear gardens give outside space, though the rear garden would benefit from modernization.
Built around the early 20th century, the house retains period character—solid brick walls, original-style fireplace, exposed beams and wood flooring—making it appealing for buyers who value character and scope to personalise. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; double glazing is fitted (install date unknown). Note the solid walls are likely uninsulated, so insulating improvements could reduce running costs.
Practical ownership details are straightforward: long leasehold (extensive term remaining), nominal ground rent of £5 per year, and very low Council Tax (Band A). The property’s location is well-suited to first-time buyers or investors: under half a mile from the University of Sheffield, strong transport links, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Considerations: it sits in a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood, which suits investors or buyers wanting proximity to the university but may mean variable neighbouring occupancy. The single family bathroom and the garden’s need for updating are the main immediate work items. Overall this is a solid, characterful terrace offering good potential for refurbishment or rental income.
