This three-bedroom mid-terraced house on City Road offers an attainable entry into Sheffield’s inner-urban market, priced at £160,000 and totalling about 1,034 sq ft. Period features such as a bay-window living room, high ceilings and a functioning boiler with radiators give the house character and immediate habitable comfort. A lawned rear garden, cellar storage and good broadband/mobile connectivity are practical pluses for everyday living or letting.
The property is best suited to first-time buyers seeking a modest Victorian terrace to personalise, or investors targeting strong rental demand in a well-connected area close to the city centre and local amenities. Internal layout across three floors (including an attic bedroom) provides flexible accommodation; the kitchen and shower room are described as modern, reducing immediate major spend.
Important considerations: the home is leasehold with 75 years remaining — this is short enough that some mortgage lenders may refuse finance, and additional leasehold and pack fees could apply. The house sits in a neighbourhood with high crime and very high deprivation indices, which will affect resale value and rental yield risk. The sandstone external walls appear to lack insulation and some external stonework and paintwork need maintenance.
Overall, this is a value-led opportunity for buyers comfortable managing leasehold complexity and local-area challenges. It delivers period charm, convenient transport links and garden space, but requires buyer due diligence on lease terms, mortgage availability and any necessary repairs or insulation upgrades.
