Requires renovation: kitchen, bathroom, and general modernisation
Older double glazing (pre-2002); solid brick walls likely uninsulated
Leasehold with ~81–83 years left — urgent lease extension needed
High local crime and very deprived area; consider security measures
Excellent transport links, fast broadband, and low council tax
A spacious three-bedroom Victorian terrace offering generous rooms, high ceilings and original character across about 1,163 sq ft. The property sits elevated from the street with an attractive frontage and a private rear garden, giving scope for a comfortable family home once updated.
This house requires renovation and modernisation — the kitchen and bathroom will benefit from upgrading and the solid brick walls likely need insulation. Double glazing is older (installed before 2002). The lease has about 81–83 years remaining and will need renewing soon; this is a material issue for mortgageability and resale that buyers must factor in.
The location is a major asset: very close to Sheffield city centre, Kelham Island, and the University of Sheffield with excellent public transport links and fast broadband. Nearby schools are rated Good, and council tax costs are very low. These factors make the house appealing for first-time buyers seeking long-term value or investors prepared to refurbish.
Be realistic about neighbourhood conditions: the area is classified as very deprived with high local crime levels. A refurbishment programme and lease extension should be budgeted into any purchase cost. For the right buyer, this is a characterful central property with strong potential once the necessary work is carried out.
