The building, which sits on the corner of East Parade and Campo Lane, was most recently the site of Sheffield’s tribunal courts. It has been listed for sale with planning permission for an aparthotel or apartments already granted.
The plans will enable a sensitive restoration of the property into a building comprising of 18 units of two bedroom, one bedroom or studio apartments.
The building's history dates back to 1825 and was originally built and first used as a charitable bluecoat school for boys. The school was relocated in the early 1900s and, from the 1950s, the building was used as offices, later becoming a tribunal court. For the last five years it has remained vacant.
Aparthotels are hotels offering apartments to stay in rather than rooms. They are said to provide a good option to people requiring a longer stay in the city they are staying, and offer self-catering facilities often not available at standard hotels.
Viewing of the site can be arranged via Savills.
