Affordable two-bedroom flat close to Sheffield city centre — no onward chain.
Two-bedroom first-floor flat, approx. 650 sq ft
This two-bedroom first-floor flat offers straightforward access to Sheffield city centre and commuter links, packaged within a compact, low-maintenance apartment. With around 650 sq ft, an open-plan lounge/kitchen and a separate utility room, the layout suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking rental potential close to transport and local amenities.
The property is leasehold with 88 years remaining and modest running costs: a below-average service charge (£930) and very low ground rent (£10). Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators and the windows are double glazed; council tax is reported as very cheap which helps keep ongoing costs low.
Notable negatives are factual and important: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect resale or letting values. The building appears of mid-20th-century construction with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and some cosmetic updating may be needed to maximise long-term value. On-street parking only.
For first-time buyers wanting a city-edge home with no onward chain and good broadband/mobile connectivity, this flat presents an affordable entry with potential to personalise. Investors should weigh the strong rental demand near the city centre against local crime statistics and limited lease length.
