Set within a converted industrial building on a cobbled street edge-of-centre, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment blends period character with practical city living. High ceilings, exposed brickwork and an open-plan living kitchen create a social, contemporary feel suited to renters or those seeking a central home with personality. Allocated gated off-street parking adds convenient security for drivers.
Practical details support straightforward ownership: a 116-year lease remaining (from 25 March 2002), a modest £100 per annum ground rent and a service charge of £741 per quarter. The property has gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C. Council Tax is band C, which is described here as affordable.
This location is exceptionally well placed for Sheffield Hallam’s city-centre campus, the train station and local amenities — a clear draw for investors targeting student or commuter demand and for buyers wanting short journeys to work and leisure. The apartment’s open-plan layout and durable finishes make it easy to rent or personalise.
Important considerations: the development sits in a very high crime area according to local data, which may affect rental yield, insurance costs and buyer suitability. Service charges are substantial; buyers should confirm what these cover. The property is leasehold — solicitors should verify lease details and any future costs. An internal inspection is recommended to assess condition and any maintenance needs not evident from the description.
