These brand-new, low-energy passive townhouses in Kelham Island offer a contemporary three-bedroom home with substantial space — approximately 1,302 sq ft — arranged over multiple floors. Layouts include an open-plan living/dining area with a double-height feature, utility cupboard, downstairs WC, and a master with en-suite. Options include a deluxe version with mezzanine and roof terrace; all homes include a private parking space.
Offered on a shared ownership basis (25%, 50% or 75% shares available), this property is aimed at buyers who want lower upfront costs and the ability to stair‑case later. A 990‑year lease and a 10‑year Q Assure warranty from completion provide long-term security. The build uses locally sourced materials and is designed for low running costs; EPC is predicted B.
Be aware of material considerations: this is a leasehold shared-ownership scheme (ground rent c. £10pa; service charge c. £1,149–£1,253pa depending on specification). Heating is electric (room heaters) and the wider neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime levels. Council tax banding is to be confirmed.
Kelham Island is an up‑and‑coming, lively area with cafés, bars, restaurants, museums and good transport links to Sheffield city centre — attractive for first-time buyers seeking community energy and urban amenities. The scheme suits buyers prioritising new‑build efficiency, manageable purchase entry via shared ownership, and long lease security, provided they accept ongoing service charges and the urban location’s safety considerations.
