Summary - THE CHIMES, 18 APARTMENT 6 VICAR LANE SHEFFIELD S1 2EH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment close to both universities and transport links.
Large open-plan living room with balcony and plenty of natural light
This spacious one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a modern red-brick block in the heart of Sheffield city centre. At around 60 sqm (646 sq ft), the property offers a large open-plan living area that flows to a balcony, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a practical bathroom. The flat is sold chain free and benefits from lift access and plentiful nearby parking options.
Location is the apartment’s strongest asset: it is walkable to both Sheffield universities and only moments from Cathedral tram stop, shops, restaurants and a wide range of city-centre amenities. The building was constructed in the early 2000s and has double glazing; broadband and mobile signal are strong, useful for tenants or those working from home.
Practical considerations include leasehold tenure with 129 years remaining, an annual service charge of approximately £1,329.44 and ground rent of about £309.58. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which can increase running costs compared with gas‑heated homes. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, multicultural student area and recorded higher local crime levels, which may affect buyer priorities or rental profiles.
This apartment will suit buy-to-let investors seeking central, student-friendly stock or a first-time buyer wanting city-centre convenience who accepts ongoing service charges and electric heating. Flexible living space and a strong location create clear rental and resale potential, but factor in running costs and the urban setting when deciding if this is the right city‑centre purchase for you.
