Market Street, Sheffield, South Yorkshire

A rare opportunity to acquire a residential portfolio in Sheffield, comprising of 9 terrace houses. ** For sale by online auction (subject to sale prior, reserve and conditions) **


Scope to improve rental incomes.

Cairns Cottages are located to the south-east of Sheffield, approximately 5.8 miles from the city centre, providing convenient access to local amenities and transport links, making it an attractive proposition for long-term investment.

The portfolio comprises nine terraced cottages situated on privately owned land extending to approximately 0.83 acres (0.34 hectares). The properties are arranged in a traditional terrace and benefit from a private approach and hardstanding parking area.

Six of the cottages are currently let and generate an annual rental income in excess of £35,000, offering an immediate income stream. The remaining three properties are vacant and require renovation, presenting a clear opportunity to add value and improve returns through refurbishment and re-letting.

Access is off Market Street along a private trackway leading directly to the parking area.

To the front of the cottages lies an area of land that is currently overgrown with vegetation. Once cleared, this space could offer scope for future development, subject to obtaining the necessary consents, adding further potential to this investment opportunity.
