Summary - 36 BLACKWELL PLACE SHEFFIELD S2 5PX
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable central flat ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Two generous bedrooms with flexible layout for home-working
Open-plan lounge/diner with large picture window and city views
Approx 703 sq ft of accommodation; bright, modern-style interior
Free on-street residents parking; elevated, peaceful position
Leasehold with 89 years remaining — affects mortgage options
High annual ground rent £940 — significant ongoing cost
Very high local crime levels; area classed as deprived
Chain free sale, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal
Light-filled two-bedroom apartment with sweeping city-centre views, compact open-plan living and good transport links. The raised position gives a peaceful feel despite being within walking distance of central shops, universities and mainline stations — a practical option for first-time buyers seeking convenience and lifestyle on a budget.
The accommodation is well-proportioned across about 703 sq ft: two generous bedrooms, an open lounge/diner with a large picture window, a neat modern-style kitchen and a separate utility/storage room that could double as a home office. Communal areas are maintained and there is free on-street residents’ parking nearby.
Important facts to note: the property is leasehold with 89 years remaining and an unusually high ground rent of £940 per year; these factors will affect mortgage eligibility and running costs. The immediate area records very high crime levels and is classed as deprived, so buyers prioritising safety or long-term capital growth should weigh this carefully.
For a first-time buyer or investor, this apartment offers an affordable entry into city-centre living with rental potential and low council tax. Chain-free sale and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity make it straightforward to move in or let quickly, but budget for lease-related costs and consider security measures given local crime statistics.
