“The area has an active lettings market particularly for students and is suitable (in principle) for residential conversion to apartments or other residential use (subject to Planning and Listed Building consent),” states the sales brochure.

According to Historic England, the old school building is one of a number designed by Innocent & Brown for the Sheffield School Board, and was one of the earliest to be built in England after the 1870 Education Act.
