The Ball Darnall: See inside the Sheffield pub back on market amid hopes for community use

The pub has been put back on the market after a previous bid to buy the building in an auction nearly three years ago, fell through over funding.

Now the venue, on the corner of Darnall Road and Basford Road, is up for sale again for upwards of £325,000, with the owner hoping to find someone who wants to take it on for community use.

The Ball Inn dates back to 1904, when it was rebuilt, and the red brick building is Grade II-listed with a number of important architectural features.

Pictures below show how The Ball now looks behind its beautiful frontage, years after drinkers last downed pints there.

Estate agent Phil Williams, director of Yopa Property, said: “The owner would love to see it sold to someone for a community use.”

He said there was already interest in the building, including from charities, but the use would be down to the buyers. He added it could also potentially be used as a restaurant.

The description of the building issued by the estate agents describes it as comprising of an imposing building of considerable character and architectural interest dating from the early 1900s

They added: “Full planning permission was granted on December 7, 2004, for’alterations to a public house for use as a restaurant at the cellar and ground floors, residential accommodation first and second floors and offices in roof space.”
