Washington Road flats. Sharrow, Sheffield.

my son and daughter in law and their family live on those flats.

 

benefits?

 

"2 minutes" walk from town

close to frequent bus services. (on Washington Rd and London Road)

close to vibrant life that is London Road

varied and vibrant community,

good community spirit chools close by

convenient for both universities.

surestart very active in the area

doctors and schools nearby

waitrose almost opposite so very convenient

 

drawbacks

 

poor, typically boxy 1960's construction, so they don't look "fantastic"

can be noisy if your neighbours are inconsiderate

they have a "reputation" (not entirely deserved) of being "rough"

 

there are "worse" areas to live in. Go and have a look and get a feel of the area. I live a bit higher up the hill from them, and it's not that bad an area round here. I certainly have no qualms about being in this area.
