Sheffield old court house/town hall for sale for £2m

[geared]

They probably only bought it in the first place with the hope of smashing it down and throwing in some concrete box.

Apparently the owners have been open to offers for a couple of years. This listing is just lip-service. Though my source on that is a notorious idiot from another forum.

 

Who in their right mind is going to pay £2million for a liability like this? I imagine it's no great state inside, and even then you've got to wonder what use you could give it that accomodate any listed features etc.

 

 

If the mooted regeneration of the Castle Markets area as a high-end office district (this is not as silly or unlikely as it sounds) then it might start to look attractive, maybe for leisure uses.

"Residential development for sale". More city centre apartments. Lovely.

 

To my mind you'd have to be a pretty by fan of "centro" living to want to live in an apartment with views of Castle Market/Haymarket.

 

They are being knocked down.

A little grassy park just what a thriving City centre needs:loopy:

 

That little grassy park is in fact going to be a large development involving park land, houses, flats, shops, restaurants and walkways over to Victoria Quay.

 

If you're going to start a thread about an area then at least do some background information on it.

I cannot wait to see that, although at the current rate of progress in Sheffield , I will be about 157 years old

I've seen those pictures before. No doubt whatsoever that it's a beaut building. That could make some amazing flats.

 

If that was listed and in Worral or Stannington or Fulwood, that would be snapped up in seconds for expensive posh flats. However, it isn't there.

 

I can't it fetching £2m or even close. You probably need a million just to hoover up before you even start touching anything

 

It would be a waste to see crap £100k flats put into there, and I don't think it would pay off anyway at 2mil.

 

I can't see office space working really, it would be expensive and bigger companies tend to build there own things these days, like IMitchell.

I think the old Town Hall would make a great museum of crime and history of Sheffield in general. The building needs a lot of money spending on it, not sure how it could be turned into flats given the listed status unless court room living has become all the rage?

Would be nice for visiting the Hen and Chickens pub.
