Summary - Lightbox Lightbox, 63 Earl Street, Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 4ZA
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact one-bedroom with balcony and long lease, ideal starter home.
Top-floor one-bedroom with balcony and abundant natural light
This modern one-bedroom top-floor flat sits within a contemporary complex on Earl Street, a short walk from Sheffield city-centre amenities and transport links. The open-plan living area benefits from large windows, a balcony and a light-filled atrium, making the most of compact space. The property comes with parking and a long lease of 195 years.
Practical points to note: service charge is around £1,650 pa and ground rent £300 pa. Heating is provided via a community scheme and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The apartment is small at approximately 314 sq ft, so it suits a single occupant or a couple seeking a low-maintenance city base or a rental investment.
The area offers excellent local facilities, regular public transport and nearby schools. However, crime levels in the immediate area are reported as very high, and the building’s communal costs are significant relative to the size. The sale information also indicates the property is offered to cash buyers only, so that will limit purchase routes for many buyers.
Overall this is a well-presented, compact starter home or buy-to-let with genuine conveniences and a long lease, but purchasers should factor in service charges, slower broadband and local crime statistics before viewing.
